Well as you can see in the original picture of the tractor, the red flyer has a thin, blue, 16" tire, late 1940s rim (with tan stripes) and a chrome small Ford hub cap. You can see by the new pictures, I have redone them exactly how they were using the original tire design. The brand of tire is "Lester's", which I purchased in Hersey, PA. I sure like the original look.
Looks fabulous Glen. My only wish is that I was there helping you.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your have really keen eyes. The tire looks exactly the same. Wonder, though, if the rim on the first picture is also blue. That would look great! Anyway, good luck in restoring the tractor! You’re doing a great job! It’s really looking like the one in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Allannah for the comment , Yes the original rim was blue ,that is why I painted it that color . May I ask how you found my blog ? Have you gone back to my first post and looked at the on going progress of my project?
