<p>Was that a 303 or a 203?. If it was the 3 cyl perkins diesel,
it was a 203, an industrial version of the MF50. It came out with
R4 Industrial tires. The 202 was a Gas version, the 204 was the
gas version with a torque converter and reverser, and the 205 was
the diesel version of the torque converter drive.</p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">[ deanvp] Did a quick search. Firestone
advertised better road life and slightly better traction. But
45's were better on side hills. And shed mud better<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">[ deanvp] I can only offer my limited
experience with the two. The 45 degree lug sheds mud better
but the 23 degree lug offers slightly better traction<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">[John Hall] OK here is the latest.
Getting rims local, about the same price as you can get
anywhere on the net by the time I add shipping---plus I need
them NOW. Talked to 2 tire shops. Leaning toward the closest
one. I'll have them mount the tires on the new rims. I'll then
put them on the tractor and add fluid. Leaning toward a
Carlisle--I had no idea they made any thing besides lawn mower
tires. These tires will be a 45 deg angle, not 23. Replacing a
set of multi-angle Safemark. The other option is tires made by
Galaxy.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">[ John Hall] Looks like I have to buy 2
rear tires in a hurry. Anybody bought a particular brand the
in the last few years that you are happy with? The cheaper the
better--got to buy 2 rims as well. Rims made it 47 years and
have stress cracks, the tires are 60-70% tread, but at 28
years old they have dry rotted.<o:p></o:p></p>
