Quite right, the rear wheels don't look right for the U.S.A. Both Farmall Ms have Australian 32" cast iron rims. The entire assembly is cast iron and the wheels are fitted with weights. The tyre size is 13.5-32, which is almost impossible to find here these days. The Farmall H on steel, was on rubber with 28" rear rims, also Australian fitment. The Imperial Preference System was in use here. That is why the tractors have Lucas headlamps fitted. Some tractors did come imported with Delco Starter and Generator, but never with headlamps fitted. And yes, Australia did have huge tariffs on imported gear. It had a deleterious effect on manufacturing here because our equipment became more and more out of date. There was no incentive to improve many design or manufacture of machines because they were protected by the tariff wall. Now we're paying for it.
