I have a 1936 D on steel and would like to use it for some hayrides and parades. What are my options to keep from poking lots of holes in the road?

Dale,
We just took the lugs off our D and put tractor tire tread around it (Front & Rear).
Unless someone has found a perfect tire size I don't know about it a job to put that old tread around there. Cut the sidwalls out, cut the tread in half and trim down to a tight fit around the steel, then drill holes and bolt to the wheel. Takes a lot of time to make it look right and be durable. But Norman's right it runs nice down the road. If I had it to do over again I'd copy a few others ideas, they put a steel band around the outside of the center set of lugs then put a rubber ring on that, then you still have the looks of the steel lugs but the ease of rubber on the road. I'll email you a picture to look at of one that had this done.

Just my 2 cents.

Dale, Take the lugs off and slip the tread off an old tractor tire on it. You will have to experment to see what size. I bought a '29 "D" and it was already fixed that way. Runs quiet down the blacktop, too Later
