This is pretty common for the Amish that are allowed to have tractors, but not air filled tires. ALL the Amish around (in my area) have tractors like this. Only with fronts like that too. I don't think they'd mess with the rubber like that, if it wasn't for driving them on the pavement/highway. Which they all do. Kind of odd, but they never drive thier tractors to church, but yet they seem to drive the tractors to town whenever they go.
This works pretty well for them. The tighter the tire fits on, the better they stay on. These in the picture you are referring to, looks like they got most of the side wall cut off of them. That might make them more apt to come off while driving. There is kind of a fine line between being to tight to get it on there, and being to floppy to work very well (stay on). The tighter the better, and also better to leave the side wall on. The Amish here have a homebuilt gadget for putting these on. They can put them on and have them pretty tight when done, IF, they can find the right size of tire.
The rears look like they are off of a Farmall M or F-12. Possibly an H, but looks like to many spokes for an H. Hard to tell in the photo. A guy would know for sure by measuring the axle diameter. Not sure about the front wheel. That part doesn't really look to be farmall.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
