I would recommend at least one size larger (13.6 x28). If you have clearance under the fenders I would consider 14.9 x28 tires. The 14.9 x28 tires will give you a lot more traction. If you use fluid in the tires the 14.9 x 28 tires will take considerably more fluid and give you even more traction and stability. If you want to change wheels then an even wider tire on 24 inch dia. rims is possible. The new wheels would cost more than using the 28 inch rims that you have. I think that the 14.9 x28 tires would be very nice. I have 14.9 x 28 tires on one of my old AC WC's that came with 12.4x 28 (old size for this same tire was 11z28) and really like them. My other WC has 13.6 x28 tires and I do not like the way is handles near as well as the one with 14.9 x 28 tires. I also recommend that you get 6 ply rated tires. The cost is usually not that much more and I think that they are much tougher and last nearly forever. Remember that all the work, cleaning, priming, painting, mounting, etc. is the same and the cost is the same and adds up to a fairly large investment. The small additional cost for the larger 6 ply tires is a good investment. The time to get the LARGEST 6 PLY rated tires is when you need two new ones anyway. Good luck.

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
