I noticed that the tire types are mismatched front to rear. That could mean the rolling ratio is also out of wack! If you don’t use it in 4WD then don’t worry about it, if you do use it in 4WD then you need to get it figured out and get the correct tires on the front. Which might mean you need different rims on front.

@North Idaho Wolfman - please look into the serial number above and see if you can find out what tractor he might actually have! But it looks like two tractor halves have become one hybrid model??

The guy that sold it to me took the original wheels off of it and put these on. I think the actual wheel size is the same. They are just turf tires. But yes, I’d like to gain as much info on this tractor as possible.

I can't look up Grey market serial numbers, they didn't document them.
I'm pretty sure it's a composite of several tractors, I just couldn't tell you which it is.

As far as the tires go
I need the rear tire size to be able to give you better answers.
As the rear tires on it now appear to be wider and taller than stock.
