John: I am not sure I'm right but here are my thoughts. There was an old Deering binder still in use on our home farm into thr 50s. It probably was as old as the one you have.

Why it wasn't repaired, I can't tell you. My dad and grandad were very frugal men, so it must have been less expensive to replace the wheel. Maybe it had been repaired once by that time. I do know our binder wheel was replaced by a new steel wheel. I have reason to believe other binder wheels were replaced in that era as well. When I was a kid it was common to see binder bull wheels lying around farms and not on binder. My thoughts are that rubber tired bull wheels probably were not available until after the war.
