Mowner: Rusty is correct with one little exception, based on my experience, and this may well have been different in 1941.

My dad had a 1942 W4 he bought new in 42, it had a fiber pulley. He traded the W4 for an H in 51. The H was to have all the same equipment options the W4 had plus hydraulics. Upon Delivery the H had a steel pulley, and dad objected. The dealer said the fiber pulley was optional. Dad said fine if the fiber pulley is optional I will be keeping my option, and you are going to change them. The dealer did as dad requested.

The fiber pulley gave better traction on the belt, and farmers that were doing heavy belt work wanted that extra traction.

I also have a gut feeling that fiber pulley may have been standard equipment in the early 40s. I say that as in the mid 50s most new tractors you saw had steel pulleys, while the older tractors generally had fiber pulleys.
