Found this while moving. Dad got it in 1984 from the owner of the local dealer. It is a 70th Anniversary Calendar.

It says what model the tractor is and gives a fact or two about it.

I do not know who owned it at this time but I now own the UC in the top left hand corner. I bought it from Dave Hexem and he said it is the one from the 1984 calendar.

The photos in three of the corners were taken at Pomeroy, IA. The WD45 was photographed somewhere else and grafted into the background, at least that is what I was told. (I can't remember what they called it before photoshop) When I worked at the dealership in Pomeroy in the late 80s I lived in the house on the farm where those 3 corner photos were taken. It's not a big deal, but so far it is my claim to fame.

OK..........what is that WC with the flat wheels? A roller? Looks almost like concrete.
 
Also, 25 years ago, I rode out route 20 to the western part of New York State and saw several Farmalls (Hs and/or Ms) that had wide steel bands mounted to both the front and rear tires that appeared to be perfectly smooth. Not much traction there!
I always suspected they were used to roll the fields but never knew for sure.
Always sorry I didn't take the time to look up one of the owners and ask him.
Any of you guys familiar with that?

I believe that other person norm mentioned would have been Richard Sleichter, (daughter#1 father) Some photos were taken at their home farm.
That was around  the time that he traveled with the 10-18 for allis

They are extension rims added to regular steel wheels without lugs and filled with concrete. I really don't know the purpose, but some of my guesses include packing silage in a trench silo, or a lawn roller. I wish I had asked the gentleman that sold it to me. I have since had steel rears and currently, rubber rear tires. I sold the concrete wheels on ebay a few years ago, and the guy that bought them was planning to use them as part of a bridge support in Decorah, IA. I never heard anything else about them after that.
Sorry I hi-jacked the discussion.

   Last story I heard was that they were used to push the stones back into the ground, to make planting and harvesting easier.
