Redbird 1 #1 Posted June 7, 2009 I need to know the original tire size for my 1989 211-5SB 16 x ? -8.5 18 x ? -8.5 20 x ? -8.0 Also can't seem to get the back wheel all the way off to change the tire. Tried CRC heat, hammer, you name it-the thing JUST won't come off! Would appreciate the help. Thanks Red Bird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #2 Posted June 7, 2009 The OEM rear tire should be 18X9.50-8 If the rim won't come off the axle, it's usually faster to change the tire right on the machine. A slide hammer-style bead breaker works great in this situation and you'll need to tip the tractor on its side to get to the inside bead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbird 1 #3 Posted June 8, 2009 Hey TT Thank you so much for all the info. Going to see if hubby has the right equipment lol. Guess I'm going to have to take the deck off if I have to tip it like that. I'll keep you posted. See you at the show. Red Bird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbird 1 #4 Posted June 10, 2009 :thumbs: OK got the right size tires for the back of the 1989 211-5SB. Now what about the front? Are they supposed to be: 13 x 6.00-6 or 15 x 6.00-6 It has 13x6.00.6 on it now, but, I think they are awfully small and with the 18x9.5-8 on the back--they might look a little silly Trying to make sure this thing is as original as possible. Everything else on it is, including the seat. Thanks for any help I can get. Red Bird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
