Rubber was an option for those rakes - but the steel wheels were much more common.
I was lucky enough to find a parts rake that was in tough shape - but had the two brand new tires on it.
Lucky because they aint cheap!
You CAN buy them from miller - but I think they're around 300 per tire.
There's some confusion ( in my head anyways) about these tires - the ones I have are from a polish company ... just can't remember the name right now - which I heard were a cheaper alternative - but try as I might, I could never find a source for them, and have no idea if they're still in business...
but they also MIGHT be what miller sells. Miller's picture of them looks like a different tread pattern, but I've never called to ask if they sell the original style - or the polish tires with an old picture in their catalog.
(having stumbled across the parts rake, I stopped my research there into the tires).
So - more than you asked, but in case anybody else is looking for tires...
I've found a few other rakes with tires, but all are old and torn.
So the WHEELS for tires are out there if you're ever looking for some - but expect some pain when it comes to actually putting tires on them.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
