spoke wheels

[Anonymous-0]

I have a 1947 styled A, it has front spoke wheels.
My question is, was it possible it came from the factory that way?

MB deere,
While I never say never, that is about as close as I would come to saying it - front round spoke wheels with low pressure rubber tires were last available from the factory on unstyled tractors, according to price lists.

Are your wheels cutoffs?

Now, if something were special-ordered, I suppose most anything may have been available - wheels could have been changed at the branch house or dealership to meet customer needs. Round spoke wheels were available for replacement needs much later than their use on tractors from the factory.

how can I tell if they are cutoffs?
they look just like the wheels on a 35 A that I have.
Round spoke.

Cut offs will have an obvious weld where the spoke meets the rim. Factory spoke rims will not be welded but will look likea crimp.
