The easy/fun answer is the owner was too stupid to know which way the tire went. Point and laugh. Act like you were the first to notice.
Most likely the tire went flat when the farmer needed the tractor. He had a spare on a rim/wheel, but it was mounted for the right side of the tractor. Only way it would fit on the tractor is backwards. You can bet he was back up and running in an hour, vs. half a day if he fixed the flat or tore this one apart just to get it facing the right direction. There was intent to fix it "someday" but if you've been farming for any time at all, you know there is always a pile of "someday" projects waiting to get done. Paying a tire guy $200 to change a tire on a $500 tractor doesn't seem fiscally wise, especially if you don't have the $200 to begin with...
Looks like it's at a dealer. Do they really want $500 for it? That's a $3000 tractor around here. They'd let it go at the annual clearance auction for $500, but you could not walk into the sales office and buy it for $500. Their best deal would be $2900, take it or leave it.
