Does anyone in Allis Land have information on factory steel wheels for a wd? I've never seen one, but assume they were offered? Thanks for any replies!

I think this may have been discussed at some point and theory is that a WD on steel is homemade.

WD production started in 1948, well after WWII, so I doubt if steel wheels would be considered as an option.

As far as I've researched, WD's didn't have steel wheels as a factory option. I have only seen Amish-made or home-grown wheel examples.
