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.

probably 15" diameter, 6 inches wide, 6 ply thick? the manufacturer or
previous user picked those out. you might be changing the clearance to
the ground, making tractor unsafe?

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!

Those early John Deere tractors are highly collectible and well worth
the effort to repair / restore.
My neighbor still uses a 112 which is much older and has been in
continuous service except for an engine rebuild 2 years ago. I'm using
a 330 diesel of 85 vintage, that will likely last the rest of my life.
If you don't want it, I'll take it.

I'll agree unless it has been so sorely abused as to be a piece of junk
needing more repairs than keep but even then could probably get more
for it than asking as a pieces/parts/salvage source on the collector
groups...
Still have a 112 also in continuous usage w/ only a short block
replacement. I finally broke down and put a new carb on it last summer
as the age finally caught up to it and could no longer shim up the air
leaks around the throttle shaft to keep a constant-enough mixture.
After that, it's like a new one.
