Come to think of it, my 40 and 42 just have the iron rod so to speak for the shifter. My 43 has the knob on the shifter. My 47 M, doesn't have the knob but looks like it may of had some kind of rubber coating on the top portion at one time(there is a ridge about 4 inches down from top). Anyways, doesn't make it real speacial as far as being rare. Farmall, kept production of farm tractors going pretty much right on through the war. Had to keep the troops fed. Steel wheel's were an option before, but became more common during the war when rubber became rationed. After the war was over, steel wheel's got fazed out pretty fast by consumers. Meaning that after WWII was basically the end of steel wheel's being common on new tractors. I'm not positive on this, but I think IHC haulted vehicle production during the war and made war equipment.
