Had to get one of the rear tires on my M replaced last week. I had to replace the other one this spring. I farm 160 acres and the tires were about 10 years old and just wore out from the field work.
Replacing a 13.6 x 38 6 ply with tube and fluid cost $575! OUCH!!
It also seems to be getting harder to find someone that replaces these tires on-the-farm. There used to be more service stations around here that did this. When I called them up they say they no longer have a truck and have gotten out of the farm tire replacement business. Ever my local COOP doesn't due on-farm tire service anymore.
If you have to replace all the tires on a tractor like an IHC M, with front and rears you could easily end up shelling-out $1300. Something to consider when buying a used tractor.
