[AT] tire brand

[farmallgray at aol.com]

The oldest IH tractors I've seen original factory photos of with Firestone 23 degree tread was the 706, 806 series.
I have never seen any photos of the previous series with them on. So if they were available in the mid to late 50s, they must have been more expensive or not as popular.

I can't pin down the date but we acquired my 1947 Farmall Cub in the late 1960's and it was wearing a "very weathered" pair of Firestone Field & Road (23 degree) tires on the back of it. It now wears a pair of turf tires and has for many many years.I was thinking that I started seeing the F&R's about the mid to late 1950's. That memory may be a bit slushy.  :-)

I probably saw Firestone ads in Farm Journal or Successful Farming around 1960 for the 23o tires. [Ralph in Sask.] I don't remember ever seeing the 23 degree tractor tires until the late sixties. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. [James Peck] The pictured 1957 MH 303 Work Bull has the MHF script on it. _______________________________________________
