tire size
I understand that a Farmall H usually had 38" tires. Some have 36". Why were the 36" used and what was the original wheel color?

Re: tire size
As to the why, I can't help, but the rim color was same as cubs, originally a dull galvanizing, the current bright aluminum (fake chrome) that most of us use on cubs is about as close as can be found.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: tire size
The earliest Farmall Hs came with 36" wheels. After a short while, the standard wheels were 38". The HV continued to use 36" wheels. I don't know why they didn't change the HV along with the H.

Re: tire size
I've haven't seen any Farmall H s here in Australia with 36" tyres most here were either 38" tyres or the smaller 28" tyres

Re: tire size
The 43 H I have has 36" tires. The rim is one piece and has 7 single spokes and 7 doubles. Could this have been a conversion from steel tread?

I'm not getting a mental picture of your rim configuration. It is almost certainly a conversion from steel. In 1943, a farmer would have been lucky to get a tractor of any configuration and rubber tires were out of the question. A '43 H would have probably had a steel serial number plate and steel fins in the radiator.

Re: tire size
That explains why Brasso would not touch the s/n plate only the brass rivets. Thanks Jim
