I went to a one-room school 1942-1947 on US-12 east of Jonesville, MI, I had to walk about 1 1/2 miles on a gravel(at that time) road to it. It's still there, it is really built-cut field stones-big ones- and now it is a nice country antique and memobilia store. My Grand-dad was a thresherman and had a Rumely OilPull 30-60 "S" tractor that came on steel of course. When they started paving the roads He had to replace the angle-iron lugs with rubber lugs He made from old tires off hard rubber tired trucks and forklifts. The "rubber lugs" worked okay if you didn't spin 'em, if you spun 'em you were likely to tear one off. "Old Jake weighed 8 1/2 tons so you had to try to spin 'em-except in sand. Then I remember Uncle Earl's John Deere "B", it was a 1937 and came on steel rears and rubber in front. When the steel lugs wore out He sent off to Sears and got a set of French and Hecth(sp?) round spoke wheels and Allstate 10-36 tires. The wheels were black and I don't believe they ever got painted yellow. "F & H rears through Sears"--Has a nice ring to it don't it? Them was the good old days!! Happy Trails and God Bless Dale Evans- Rogers
