I think they were used in the rice and cane fields in the south, but I see them on B's and C's Allis-Chalmers, a lot! [Reply]  [No Email]

Think they were OK, when they wore out, he put a conventional tread on, probably that was what was available. [Reply]  [No Email]

We had those on our '49 JD 'A'. For no good reason I can think of, I didn't think they held the ground as well as the open-tread Goodyears. Stan [Reply]  [No Email]

I never took a pair out in the field and worked them. That tractor is just a chore tractor,used around the yard feeding cattle. [Reply]  [No Email]
