thank you guys. i better ask my winder for a new transformer.

If you are not pushing the rectifier to its current limits, don't worry, try it. Your 4V winding may give you something a little higher than 4V, and virtually all tube are rated at least +/_ 10%, so 4.5V on the filament would be within normal rating anyway. You don't have to try your best tube - 5U4G's are cheap and readily available.
