A lot of us have questions about authentic paint schemes for IHC tractors. One of the questions is: Were rims painted silver after the F-series tractors became red? I've wracked my memory to go back to my father's 1938 F-12 (with the cast wheels) and for the life of me, I cannot remember if the rims were painted silver--but I did not think so. Today, I came across a beatup old IHC brochure in my so-called collection of this stuff. It's for F-20 and F-30 and must date from about 1938, since it invites readers to ask for a separate brochure on the F-14. Right there staring me in the face is an F-20 with those beautiful cast wheels, and the rims are...... (are you ready? is the suspense killing you?).....red! This does not prove that the rims were never painted silver at the factory later on, of course. It is not surprising that restorers paint them silver, because they do look pretty snazzy. This is the only proof that I have that shows that the rims were red at least some of the time before the end of production of these models.
