Not particulary rare, just not as common as most. I've got a '43 H that was the only new tractor my Dad ever bought. It has the cast-iron shifter knob, and came on steel without starter, lights, etc. It does not have a steel steering wheel rim, but it isn't rubber, either. Some sort of "bakelite" plastic material. It's checked and chipped in a few places. When it was in better shape, it was black, shiny, and slick. Part of the war effort was to keep the farms producing, so IH (and others) kept making tractors. Sometimes, when rubber, aluminum, etc., were hard to get, they not only made tractors, but "made-do" with what they could get.
