"No way, by 1947-48, there may have been the odd old diehard buying steel on big tractors, but not on those little ones"

Hugh, I grew up on a vegetable farm, many crops on 20 inch rows. Requires a 9" or less tire for cultivation which we had on our two B's. I have never seen a B on steel, but many Ford 2/8/9N's, not out of the realm of possibility that someone would equip a cub that way for cultivation, although there really is no reason to do that, since the 7-9 inch tires would work fine. We had narrow steel on our H for cultivation, swapped the wheels for 11-38's for tillage. So, steel did have it's place, and was not necessarily caused by the WWII rubber shortage. I do agree that a person has to be nuts to actually order steel unless he needed to cultivate as we did.
