[AJD] Late A Roll-o-matic Hubs vs. Tricycle Hubs

[Duane Ledford]

When I traded out the tricycle front to a ROM on my '48 B, I tried to use 
the existing hubs. They worked, but set the wheels quite a ways apart, thus 
making it hard to steer. Got the ROM hubs and put the wheels closer together 
and made life a lot easier. The regular hubs will probably work, it just 
depends on what you are wanting to do with the tractor and if the wide set 
front wheels is something that you can live with.
