Were steel wheels an option on H's or was this something they did when rubber was scarce during the war? I always wondered about this, the first tractor my Dad had was an H.

As to your question, I suspect the steel wheels are worth something to a collector, since a lot of older tractors that came with steel wheels had them cut off to put on rims and rubber. I suspect mom is right, that's what happened to our old H. Freddy
