In reality, 43, 4, and 5 are the war year tractors. This is where you see a few changes in production related to the war. The following options were likely but not nescisarily. Steel wheel's instead of rubber tires (road gear blocked off), kerosene or distillate burner instead of a gas, metal gear shift knob instead of rubber, and there are probably some others that would fit into those years. As far as these changes making the tractor really different, it really didn't. The wheels and choise of fuel burning engine were already options, and if you had enough ration stamps you could go ahead and get the rubber tires I think. Come to think of it, wasn't gas rationed also. But if you had enough gas rations, the gas burners wouldn't of been a problem either. Well anyways, the real big thing was that the lesser options became more common generally speaking.
