MF 253
I need to decrease the width of the tractor so I can use it for plough.
the rim is 16.9 xR24. Is there away to bring both tyres in. Is it possible to use tyre size 14.9xR24.

Hello Mahmoud, welcome to the tractor forum.

According to tractordata.com the correct tire sizes for a MF 253 are as follows:

Massey Ferguson 253 Tires
Standard tires (ag):	Front: 6.50-16. Rear: 13.6-28 (2WD)
	Front: 280/80R-20. Rear: 14.9-28 (4WD)

The rear tires and rims you have mounted on your tractor are simply too wide.

.... and bald too.... Tire time and the correct size as well.
