If there's anything that bugs me the most about restored tractors, it's the fact that that they have modern tread tires. You can restore a rubber era tractor with a toothbrush, but if you put modern tires on it, it WILL pull better OF COARSE, BUT, that just kills it for me to see it that way. It's just wrong. Restore it to original OR make it a puller. Does anyone agree with me? I think most of the problem is that at most any show,they will have a pull, and anyone who thinks that they have chance will put new 2004 radial tires on a 1953 IH "H" (for example). Does any company, large or small make the classic "rubber" tire tread from the 1930's to the 1950's? We all know, now, that this interlocking tread pattern didn't work as it spun out on ice, frozen ground, and soft mud, but hey, that's why we have the tires we in 2005 and beyond. My thing is I would love to see this classic tire tread on the restored "rubber era tractors, say 1930 to 1950. In fact I hope to restore my 1966 Case 730 with the classic 45 degree bar that was on it. Thoughts?
