I was doing some work in the shop this afternoon and was looking at my M and thinking I need to give her a bath. I was skidding some fire logs out of the woods the other day and got the tires pretty muddy.Then noticed on the rim the impression D.I.D. JAPAN 24 x W9 7 87 on one rim and the same thing on the other rim, except the last part is 4 87. I am guessing these last part is a date code?? April and July of 1987???? Does anyone have a clue as to what the deal is with this? I�ve had this unit since last October and this is the first time I�ve notice the Jap rim thing. Since I bought this unit to be a quasi-working tractor�..grading the driveway, skidding firelogs, putting in food plots on the deer lease and such, I guess I shouldn�t be too overly concerned with this. Heck it has 12V alternator electrics, a 3pt hitch, a �fixed� seat, and incorrect gauges as it is. BUT, I am wondering about the rim thing? Could they be JD rims for a later model tractor that someone somewhere sometime put on the old gal?
