I am not trying to say I'm right, you are wrong or anything because I have
nothing to go on but the parts manual (something that has been wrong
before), but here is what I am reading in the P.C. and what I have on the
tractor:

1 - The B-1270-R you mention above, with one exception (see the next item)
is indeed the wheel I appear to have - just as you stated.  Part numbers
are right and everything.  However, according to my parts book, the 1270R
you describe above starts at serial number 60,000 - not 191303.  

2 - My spokes are definitely 1-1/2" wide.

3 - My parts numbers are on the outside of the hub and hub clamp.

4 - The first wheel wheel you describe (and not quoted here in my message -
B-1240-R ) exactly matches, in terms of individual part numbers, number of
spokes, etc, the flat spoke _steel_ wheel for the B, not rubber tire flat
spoke wheel.   The part number for the whole flat spoke on steel assembly
appears to be B-1265-R though and not B-1240-R.  In fact, the part number
B-1240-R is NOT in the part list at all.   I am thinking this may be a part
invented after my parts catalog was printed.

Again, all of this is according to my parts catalog so everyone jump in and
please tell me if I am wrong so I can start making margin notations (-;
