Why do some people mount one rear tire backward?
Is there any reason or benefit from having one going the wrong way?
Thanks for the info

I AGREE with Ollie, most likely a FRUGAL person/somebody using what was at hand.
Thanks. That series was also the first true Canadian built Cockshutts. Prior to that , up to 1946, Cockshutts were just re-branded Olivers painted red. Good tractors too.(quoted from post at 10:48:30 11/23/20) Great photo Rusty, calendar quality and the tire police won't notice the tire ... ha! That whole series of Cockshutts were as nicely designed as any tractors ever produced I would say.

(quoted from post at 12:04:07 11/23/20)That is correct. I've been told the same. Notice the rear tires on combines usually have them on "backwards" compared to the fronts. Unless they have rear wheel assist in which case they will be in the same direction as the front wheels.I've been told that when the equipment drives the tires to the ground, tires face forward.
When the ground drives the tires to the equipment, tires face rearward.
