Since I wrote my previous note, I've had time to dig around and find a couple of early IHC brochures. One has to be from 1938, because it shows an F-14 on steel. The hubs are definitely on the outside. The other brochure is probably from about 1936 (most of the tractors are on steel, but there are a few on rubber, but only with the little knobs that seem to have been the only kinds of "lugs" available when rubber first became commonly available around the middle 30s. The F-12 pictured on steel has the hubs outside, and even the tractor pictured on round-spoked wheels has the hubs out. My father had a '38 on rubber with the factory cast-iron wheels, and I am pretty sure its hubs were on the inside. The wheels were dished out a bit and I am pretty sure I remember that they were "clean" on the outside. The dishing would have allowed their being turned the other way around to give a fairly-narrow tread. It's been almost 50 years since this pretty little thing was in service, so my fading memory cannot be blamed entirely on disappearing brain cells.
Another picture in the earlier brochure shows an F-12 with the hubs out and the wheels WAY in, pulling a lister through some very narrow rows of something. Well, I had fun looking.
