[Farmall] Another O-12 project, part 5

[Jim Becker]

I thought they came from the factory with bald car tires.

Looking at the brochures,   The 9" all seem to be a diamond tread.  On the 
16", I've seen the double row of diamonds with bars extending to the side 
wall.  I've also seen the connected straight bars at a steep angle.  These 
are both identical to rear treads that were available at the time.  I also 
have seen 5-rib implement tires.  5-rib seems like a good choice for orchard 
work.

These descriptions all make sense?
