Thanks for the helpful reply, Scotty, especially the data on rim sizes. You've given me a better idea of what I'm up against with this project.
As I mentioned in the original posting, these ARPS halftracks are available and inexpensive (by my understanding, anyway). Less than $500. Maybe quite a bit less, depending on how motivated the seller is... I have to admit, I don't know a thing about about "the newer tracks that are more readily available," but I can't imagine they'd be anywhere near as inexpensive. And -- surprise, surprise -- I'm trying to get this set up as inexpensively as possible, if it can be done at all.
I'm in Penobscot County, in the Bangor area. The tractor is in Hancock County right now, in Bucksport, but if tomorrow's storm isn't too severe (which it may very well be, by the latest forecasts) I'm going to haul it to Orrington where I can work on it inside, out of the weather.
Thanks again for your insight -- I'm used to dealing with steel-wheeled Fordsons and big JD 2-bangers.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
