Vapet: Yes, the rims came with factory cast centers. Both the cast centers and the steel were made to slide on the splined axle. Don't ask me what size rubber they put on the rims, I was only 9 when the W4 went down the road traded on an H in 51.
Actually I think there is a difference on dates when we couldn't get rubber compared to US. Canada being part of the British Empire was in the war from day one in 1939, whereas it would be 1941 for US. There are a couple of other factors, near as I can tell, IH were shipping tractors into Canada without rubber early as 1939. From there it was up to IH Canada and the Canadian Government to iron out how many tractors got rubber. Another factor was location, and this was probably true both sides of the border. I think if you were in one of the Provinces or States that had big agriculture, important agriculture production, then you stood a chance of getting rubber. I'm from Nova Scotia, thus we weren't very important to agriculture production.
