I believe it is aftermarket. Targeted for McCormick-Deering / international. The 3 bolt hub cap is used on F20 and 10-20 tractors. Hs and Ms too. Probably for steel to rubber conversion. I thought it was made by F H, but don't have confirmation |

Very nice. The color looks right for AC. It reminds me of Oliver. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

That is a French & Hecht 'convertible' wheel. It could be used with a narrow steel bladed rim, a larger round flat rim, a Dayton type wheel rim with wedge clamps, or a rim with a tab-type clamp. They could also be used on towed implements with a bolted-on ring gear, but I've never seen that derangement. These are most frequently found on steel-wheel green tractors, and red tractors all of vintage prior to 1939 or so. I believe these wheels came out of the F&H foundry in Davenport, Iowa, and were probably shipped just across the railroad deck of the Government Bridge to the IH and JD facilities in Moline. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.
