There were definite cutbacks in numbers and materials during the war. 1943 was the worst year for this as the A/B models were shut down completely and the other models were severely restricted. I think that on '43 you got tractors on steel period. Other years used the low grade tires. The cast shift balls were a substitution to save rubber. I believe a lot of the war models were hand crank too.

The cylinder for the pneumatic lift changed from brass to porcelized steel. I believe thas was because of the war material shortages.
