I am new to the Yesterday's Tractors Forums. I have what may seem to be a dumb question. I was recently given a 1959 (based on serial number of 6098 J) IH 140. It hasn't run in 5+ years. So I have broken it down to refurbish the generator, the starter, the carburetor, the radiator, and replace the voltage regulator. It is currently sitting on blocks without the wheels in order to degrease and clean up. My question is this: Why is one rear wheel hub thick and heavy and the other thin and lightweight? I'm sure there is an answer perhaps having to do with the offset design of the tractor? Thanks for any info.
