I believe S3 tires indicated synthetic rubber made during WW2. Growing up we always had 5 or 6 spare tires in the barn for the cars, wagons, trailers etc. One was a U.S. Royal 6:00x16 4 ply S3. My father claimed that was synthetic rubber. A side story. When my wife got her new '80 Chevy Citation, I started driving her '73 Ford Maverick to work. It had always been good on fuel economy but I decided to play with it. Original tires were 14". The 5 lug pattern and size was the same as the 16" tires and wheels still in the barn. Oh oh. I put a pair on the back of the Maverick. One was the S3. It was so close to the inner fender that I joked that I could not put a piece of paper on the back seat. I drove it that way for several months until one night, coming home late, the S3 decided that it did not like expressways. Fortunately, I had just gotten off the highway went it let loose. I sold the car a few months later with 15" tires on the rear. ps I just looked it up. Yup, synthetic rubber.

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.
