Dean,

The F-20 was no longer being built in 1940, 1939 being the last year of production. However, there were no less than 10, probably more rear wheels available for the F-20. Most of the late F-20's, if ordered on rubber, had cast dish wheels which had 8 wide semi spokes and were called "adjustable tread wheels" which had offset hubs in order to be reversable. The rims were what you call split rims but IHC called them a "semi drop center type with loose side rings". The rims could be attached to the wheel in four different positions which with the reversable wheel gave 8 different tread widths. The older spoke type was non adjustable. The F-20 was available with 9.00 x 36 or 10.00 x 36 tires. Spoke wheels were still available I think. Lots of steel wheels were converted to rubber after the war.
