If rarity and originality are valuable this one would be priceless. I have heard that when the war got rolling they sold tractors on steel with no electric systems but after a while they figured out feeding the US and its' soldiers was also important and relaxed some of the restrictions allowing rubber tires, lights and starters again. Seems the women they wanted to replace the men that were drafted weren't getting along with the crank thing, not being able to work after dark or travel to fields away from the home farm was crimping our ability to grow food.

Indicators like pedal wear, dents and general wear patterns indicated it didn't have a lot of use on it unless it was on a belt or shaft. After owning it for about 10 years we had to change tires, date codes in the inside of the rear rims indicated the rims were made in 1946 and the tires appeared to be the same vintage (this was in 1982) so maybe it was really a post war tractor boom model.
