O.K. so 30 years ago my brother-in-law and I found a guy with a small tractor salvage yard 25 miles from us that had a complete set of steel wheels for an H. We were in the market cause we wanted to use the tractor on our one farm that we use for pasture, but mainly seem only to grow thorny locust, thorny hedge, and normal cottonwood trees. Place also full of ditches creeks, ravines, and scores of damn deer. The wheels are listed in the IH parts manual as the 51" X 2" thin channel (I think) with heavy cast two prong lugs. Cost us a fortune back then, $200 or $300 dollars if memory serves me right.

I'm assuming, as my grandfather whom use to deliver mail in rural NE said, "Henry's As & Ts got me through the roads without ever getting stuck. Eventually you dig deep enough you hit solid ground." In otherwords mud wheels. We are still using that H with a homemade fixed arm three-point that we mount our self contained mist blower too and spray for thistle & rhubarb, up to sixty yards. Works fine, being a fixed arm 3P by the way, as long as when you unhook the rig you put it on top of something the right height. But I digress as usual - anyone know the real intent for these "special" steel wheel setup? Thx skk

It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
