Kevin: I did go over and respond. The ridiculous part is the statment "first Cub on rubber". Cub production started 10 years too late for that. Rubber tires were coming on big time in the late 30s. That only got interupted by the war, and even then most companies were coming up with enough rubber for front tires. A 24" tire doesn't require a whole lot of rubber either, compared to some of the big tractors. No way, by 1947-48, there may have been the odd old diehard buying steel on big tractors, but not on those little ones.

There were steel wheels around that would fit Cubs, A, B or SA. I don't think IH made them, and I doubt if they were very popular. You put corks or spades on a wheel that small and your going to have one he!! of a rough ride. I had Canadian ring chains over the years for several 38" wheels and liked them, however on 24" tires they shake the he!! out of both tractor and operator.
