I grew up on a vegetable farm in the 40's and 50's. We had 2 H's that we interchanged steel and rubber. We used 11-38 rears for tillage and narrow steel wheels for cultivating in 20" rows because the rows were a little narrow for the tires. We also had a couple of B's with 9-24 rubber. That width was fine for cultivating. Never saw an A or B with steel, mainly because the tires were the right width for cultivating, and as you say apparently they weren't an option. Have seen a lot of Ford 8N's and Ferguson 20's or 30's with steel though. Steel on those farms had little to do with a rubber shortage, but were based on row width. Why not simply use wider rows? I don't know--tradition, I guess. Haven't been back in years.
