I have a '79 JD 950, 2WD, with loader. My front wheels are from a bobcat (I think). With a load on the loader the tie rods rub the rim and wheel. Checked with John Deere Dealer to buy the correct rims for front turf tires and to the best of his knowledge I cannot have turf tires on the front with a loader! I want to buy the correct rims but the problem is nobody seems to know what is the correct rims. Supposedly the book says 5 x 15 but that isn't wide enough to fit high-ply tires although John Deere does have 6-ply ribbed tires that will fit. I use my 950 for yard work and need turf or street tires. Does anybody know if the MFWD rims (7 x 15) will work on my 2WD 950? If I buy them and they don't work there is a 15% restock and 2 wasted tires. Also can I use either 15" or 16"????
