Jim: Hard to believe someone was actually that far in the NUTS category. There were some steel wheels in our area on A and SA, I expect they would bolt up to a Cub. I always figured they were manufactured locally. The one's I've seen were fitted with horse shoe type toe corks and they were using them harvesting ice from lakes. Folks didn't like taking big tractors out on ice with one end of lake open from harvesting. They would pull sleds loaded with ice to edge of lake with 8N, A, SA, etc. Once on shore a big tractor would take over. I remember hearing a story about one enterprising young man built and upside down buzz saw on 3 point of 8N. His idea was to cut 2/3 way through 18" ice every 2' both directions. One day he dropped the saw a bit too quickly, saw sent tractor on rubber across the ice and into the open water. That project required a bit of refinement.
