Just did a google search.
"The Allis-Chalmers WC was released in 1933 equipped with either rubber tires or steel wheels. To promote the rubber tires, Barney Oldfield, a famous race-car driver, was engaged to take a tractor with special high-speed gears and rubber tires on a barnstorming tour, during which he set a world tractor speed record of 64 miles per hour."
Have driven a few tractors...old M&M "Z" at about 18 MPH, was too fast. Best was Case LA at about 12 for pulling implements down the road. No way would you get me over 20 MPH on a tractor with the steering they had those days.
