You can be sure that (particularly as labor costs went up) either one was cheaper than spoke wheels. I think you will find the cast wheels used on nearly any tractor that adjusts the track by sliding on the axle, or where there is no adjustment. You start counting parts and it probably comes up cheaper.

The stamped disks have a big offset so track can be changed by reversing it (Yes, I know some cast wheels have an offset.). For small tractors and utility models the long axle would be a real nuisance for most usage. The lighter stamped wheel is a lot easier to handle when adjusting track. And yes, the A (most) through 140 had a heavy wheel on the right side to partly offset the engine weight. It added about 70 or 80 pounds.
