Hi Larry
I'd agree with you on everything except the low profile tire size. The
only 35s that I have seen were all similar dimensions to the 30 and 40
that I am familiar with. My 40 has 13x38s and I believe most 30s were
11x38. Tall skinny tires that were good for going through deep snow but
not the greatest for traction in the field.
The 35 that I saw at an auction sale many years ago I would say had 38
inch rear rubber.
