Should be 10.50-20 for yours. Originally it was fitted with 'runflat' tyres and the body was not designed to carry a spare.

I have found your ARN: 132272

It was issued through Victoria Barracks when new in 1942, written off and disposed of by the Board of Survey, March 22nd 1960. Incidentally the previous ARN, also a gun tractor was written off the same day, and I have this listed as being at Meandarra Qld.
