2600 tires

My 2600 has 12.4x28 rear tires on it. I would like to put 13.6x28 rims and tires on it to raise the back of the tractor up a little bit.(the lift arms drag the ground when all of the way down now) Will the wheel centers that I have now work on the larger rims and tires?
 
As long as all of the components are 28" then any rim will fit on any center.
Correct size for a 13.6" tire is a 12" rim though some say one size larger or smaller will work. That tractor looks better with 13.6s than 12.4 anyway.
One of the subtle differences between 2/3000 and 26/3600 models is the larger tractor had an adjustable Left lift link. You could probably find one of these cheaper than a set of tires. Probably someone has gizmoed your lift arms somewhere. They should be about 3 - 4" off the ground.
Notice I lost a cotter key and almost lost the pin in my linkage. Saw that as I loaded it up today. A friend of mine put about 3 hours with the finish mower on this tractor today. I put about equal time on the gasser with the bush hog.

Anyone ever tried these? The price is right, I would just have to get them loaded.

When I needed new tires for my 2600, I replaced 12-4-28's with 13-6-28's, it looks better I think, only is a little faster in each gear with larger diameter tire, but you have plenty gear speed selection. Only problem is it will hardly start out in 3rd high & will not start out in 4th high, have to start in 2nd high and shift up which poses no problem for me. Like it with the 13-6's.
