John: Surprising how many missed the fact you said letter series. They did however raise a point I hadn't thought of, that being all the letter series tractors bought during the war and had to take them on steel. My dad had a W4, bought new in 42, had to take it with rear steel, bought rims but no tires until 1946. Seeing as how I was born in 42 I really never got to drive the W4 on steel. It was however the first tractor I ever drove, pulling a wagon and loose hayloader. That was roaring excitement at best to the average 7-8 year old, stay on the windrow, don't let that clutch out too quick, swing wide on turns so as to keep loader on windrow, etc., were the commands. As I recall, I replaced grand dad as of the clutch issue. Dad was afraid the hired hand on load was going to throw pitch fork at him. I accepted the job under some degree of presure. Keep the hired hand on his feet and don't miss any hay. That worked so well I was given a pitch fork and told to join the hired hand building the load and my kid brother got the W4 seat. All this in the name of going faster and loading more hay per hour.
