I'm on board with you. I hate to be a correct police, and shoot the story down, but some things in photos don't smell right. The hood paint has aged/faded differently than the rest of the tractor. The decals on the hood, and the gear shifter don't jive with the same year. And if the tractor is a 43 as the gear shifter would indicate, it was highly unlikely it was sold new on factory rubber. You had to have a pile of rubber ration stamps to order one new on rubber in 43. Not saying this was impossible by any means. But I have heard stories about people having to sweep the country side getting rubber stamps from neighbors, friends, and family to accumulate enough stamps to get tractor tires. Also, if he purchased this tractor new to cultivate corn on his lone homeplace, he would of wanted steel wheels anyways. Those who had rubber tires, but also kept thier steel wheels, would put the steel back on to cultivate. Neighbor down the road would take his rubber tired rear wheels off, and put the skeleton rear steel back on his oliver 70 every year, just to cultivate.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
