Hi J,
You should be able to find wheels for your tractor. They even pop up on eBay from time to time. But might I make a suggestion, if the rims are badly rotted you could just cut them off and weld on some rubber tyre rims instead. You might have to make up a jig to get it right but at least your tractor would be movable while you work on it. Lots of tractors have had that done to them in the past so it would not look out of place and you would need a set of rubber tyres for parades etc. anyway. The fuel tank being rotted out is a bigger problem, mind you I have resorted to welding a patch one foot wide that ran the entire length of the tank and sealed the tank with POR 15 afterwards. The price seems a bit steep to me, but that depends on where you are in the world. If you just want the tractor as a project and you can afford the price go for it. I am sure you have seen water in all the wrong places in engines on Model A"s before too. If you want to make money out of the restoration, run away very fast and do not look back, but if you enjoy the restoration part like I do, they are a ton of fun and do you get looks from the neighbors when you drive them out of the yard.

Regards, Frank.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You ...
