I purchased a 1948 model A John Deere. It has good 42 inch rims. Would these be original from the factory, or aftermarket or what? The wheel casting is also a different style than what I've seen. Are they very rare? Any imformation would be appreciated. I was planning to part out the tractor, but if it is a very rare model, I probably would not. It has a roll 'o' matic front end. The bolster is also different, it resembles on from a single front wheel. It has deep indentations down each side. Thanks, Dave.

Dave,

If the casting number on your rear axle housing is A3271R you have a high-clearance AW or AN. The tractor would have come from the factory with an adjustable wide front assembly (AW) or a single front (AN). Since you have a split pedestal, front end assemblies are intechangeable and most likely someone has swapped out a wide front or single front for the Roll-O-Matic.The AW and AN are not rare but uncommon in some areas. I do not think parting it out would be a good idea.
