Back about 1961 before the days of 35W , there was a town north of Mpls St Paul on Highway 61. Next to a gas station of the town sat the most strangest Model A I have ever seen. It looked a lot like the one pictured except the tires were much skinnier. Every time we came through that town on our trips to the lake I would look for it. I remember that it was 1930 features, had stainless shell. Finally saw a picture of it in the book Unauthorzed Accessories.

I've just looked at all the replies and they all bring a smile. Thanks.
These high wheelers certainly are very striking. In fact, I've got a couple of rough AA trucks in the barn just sitting there with nothing to do. HMMMM?? It wouldn't be impossible to weld some monster spokes to AA hubs and attach to very narrow antique 38" tractor rims? Would need to be careful to set it all up true. This one only has four large spokes. So many projects, so little time! SIGH!!

I can't think of the model hay rake that had tires very similar to those but we had one of them but that was years ago.
I would think that if cars had tires why the farm implement's would not have them also.
