Nice work.  I can see the pitman arm has been repaired like my Father's B was. I lost track of that B years ago.

Those look really sharp.
 
One question, Does the bolts holding the rubber down move when its rolling? I've been kicking around the same idea using some conveyor belting but I'm a bit concerned that the bolts will rub back and forth as it rolls, possibly wearing the bolts/holes.

I would think that if you countersink the bolt heads, and kept the bolts tight, it would not be a problem.
  If your planning on going on tractor rides, you might want to put several layers on, because the outside diameter of the rear wheels is considerable decreased, thus slowing the tractor road speed down.
  They do look good, but I don't think they are going to pull as well as the original steel wheels in the dirt. Might do ok in the rocks of the Tn mountains though!

Nice looking B.  It is special to have steel wheels.  I know after WWII we mounted rubber on the tractors and junked the steel wheels.  We were so glad to get rid of them.
Looks like you are taking  good care of my favorite
Good Luck!
