I spent many hours on an H with rear steel in the 50's. In the field you could not tell the difference from rubber as for as ride. We usually swapped it to narrow steel from rubber for cultivating vegetables in narrow rows. This was a common practice. I have also seen Ford 8N's and the equivalent Ferguson model with rear steel. I have never seen an Farmall A or B with rear steel, probably because the rear tires were narrower. The 11-38 rear rubber on the H was a little wide for our rows, and also caused compaction in the rows the wheels ran in. We had a small farm and no road travel. I simply ran beside the packed field roads when I could. The tractor came with rubber, so 5th was not locked out. It didn't matter. The H wouldn't turn the rear wheels in 5th with steel anyway.
