[AT] JD row crop with 8'(?) or 9"(?) dual rear tires

[Len Rugen]

 I seem to remember something like that pictures in Dad's Farmall H owners manual.  Similar to this video, but with a space between them.

 Decades ago there were couple farmers within twenty miles of us that had subject tractors (probably model A or B JD’s).  O.D. was same as regular rear tires.  These were for cultivating row crop planted with a lister where you had to keep the tractor tires on the ridges; if you got the tires in the furrows they were damaging or destroying the young corn or soybean or cowpea or milo maize plants.  From what little that I have read and heard, listed row crop was mostly limited to KS and adjacent states; someone please advise if my conclusion needs adjusting.
Since early ‘90’s I have only seen one or two such JD’s at shows (somewhere in Illinois).  
Anyone else seen subject tractors?
