This old fart went to a one-room school,walked a mile and three quarters to it and back-both ways uphill(some of it, anyway) Hey, I remember steel wheeled tractors too. But I remember after WW II when rubber tires became available again most were cut down and tires put on. My Grand-dad had a 30-60 Rumely type S on steel and when they started to pave the roads he had to replace the angle-iron lugs with hard rubber lugs he made from old hard rubber truck tires so he could pull the separator and husker to different farms in the area. He said that even if there were tires big enough for that old girl, she'd shake so bad you couldn't stay on her. Seems reasonable to me now, my GW shakes enough with 1/3 as much engine.
