I'm not that familiar with tractors produced before the letter series. But, pictures I have of rubber tired tractors of that era show silver colored rims. IH did not make their own rims, they specified corrosion resistance to the outside manufacturer, which galvanized them. If that type rim was used prior to the letter series, IH would not have (or should not have) painted them red because galvanized metal of that time period required a special painting procedure -- not one paint for all as was IH's procedure. The 1936 decision you refer to was when IH went from gray to red, on the whole tractor. I take that decision as meaning everything on the tractor but the rims, wheels referring to the cast hub.
