If the new tires are taller/shorter You may need to adjust the deck if
You have an exact want/need of grass height..Changing tire size might
throw Yer speedometer off too,,,*grin*..
Last Summer I had just put tubes in every tire on My old Murray
Rider,then I broke the seat,snagged and bent the shift lever and blew
the engine all in about a 10-15 min span..My yard is'nt huge so I could
get along with a push-mower but My Sis(works for JD)gets a good deal
from John Deere and is upgrading Her old lawn tractor(12 1/2 horse),,I
can buy Her old one for $200,,it is an estimated 25yo,,new seat and
fairly recent engine rebuild,,comes with a single stage snow blower
attachment..Is it likely to be worth the money?
I ca'nt justify buying an 07 model for this yard alone and I do'nt
mind tinkering with the old tractors/riders I've had.I do'nt know the
original purchase price of the JD,it could be I'm paying more than it
cost new!

My original tires that came on my lawn tractor were size 15x6.00-6.

I'm not sure what these numbers are (diameter, width, wheel size ?)

Can I use other size tires on my existing wheels?

Thanks.
