Hi Guys,

I've noticed that all the early (1939) literature I've seen on the Farmall A show it having red rims front and back. I know most people think they should be silver. Does anyone know for sure if the early A's had silver or red rims?? If some were red does anyone know when it switched to silver? Thanks.

regards,
bob

The red rims you say were probably prototype or preproduction tractors. WHile IH didn't take color photos of tractors until the mid-1940s, the documentation and b&w photography all suggest silver (actually galvanized). There are photographs of Super A prototypes with Farmall A decals with red rims, so the red rims on prototypes is a known practice.
