Thanks for the helpful reply, Scotty, especially the data on rim sizes. You've given me a better idea of what I'm up against with this project.
As I mentioned in the original posting, these ARPS halftracks are available and inexpensive (by my understanding, anyway). Less than $500.

Thanks again for your insight -- I'm used to dealing with steel-wheeled Fordsons and big JD 2-bangers.
