24x12-12

[23 Reo 229]

Are 24x12-12 rear tires too big for a 520H?

[Pullstart 62,871]

Stock?  Most likely.  You may be able to raise the fender however.

 

These are 24x12-12s on my 520Xi for reference.

Depends on the brand of tire and actual measurements.

  The width of the rear wheel will also affect the tires overall height…narrower wheel means a taller tire once it’s inflated.

  I think most 520’s have the wider wheels, not sure about the 1988-1989 models though.

Why do you want the wider tires, for looks?

That is the tire size WH used on many D series... they were mounted on 10.5" wide rims     C series 7.5"  some 520s 8.5"

I just thought they would look good on my  97. I always put bias ply G60s or G50s on the back wheels of my cars in the 70's. Do you think I would be better off staying with the stock size?

IMHO that depends on your opinion and the desired task of the tractor. 

 

Your opinion... because it's an aesthetic issue. 

Personally I like big wide rear tires. 

 

Desired task because wide tires do well on loose aggregate or mud but not great for snow.

Thanks Eric, I have dedicated plow tires with chains and wheel weights. Looks like I' m getting the fatties.

Pictures to follow???

24x12-12 airlock. This was a 520 under the black hood & kohler.

Those are on a 10" rim, they were hard to stretch that wide, they would be easier to mount on 8.5"s.

Didn't the Ds with 12s use 26x12-12?

[JoeM 7,874]

Put a set of 24 12 12 on 10 inch rims, The rims had a little deeper back-set unlike the shallow ones WH used and I had to put spacers on so the tire did not contact the hydro brake. 

C141 plenty of room under the fender tho. 

I would be concerned if using a mower,. gauge wheels might hit the tires.

this one is for looking and not cooking.

Good point.  I think my Xi has 26’s as well!  

[Monstrosity 1,128]

These are 28X12 on 10.5 rims but I made them fit with gt14 rear tins. No spacer and they clear the trailer hitch mount.
