Mike, By the time the #16 plow was built, the auto world had created the "new normal" of 15" wheels so I'm guessing many ag wheels followed that trend, maybe even on all machinery?
I've never studied it, but most likely wagon running gears, small spreaders, etc of the late '40s used 16" wheels and then went to 15" in the late '50s??? I think some of those machines were small enuf for auto-type wheels...maybe? Balers and heavier spreaders by then probably had much heavier wheels? Would be interesting to see if that part of ag also followed the auto world. People far more intelligent than I on this subject might want to add info on this. I never paid attention when I was young...I just hooked on and opened the throttle!
My #8 tires are whitewalls (on the inside). I don't like that, but they don't look white as long as I resist the urge to clean them up with a Brillo pad!
