I just thought it was sort of cool to be able to keep both the same tire tread and style of rims.

I'm not exactly going for a true "restoration" here - mostly, I just want a working tractor that doesn't use gas.

In this case it was just as easy to keep things as original as it would be to change it, so I thought I would honor the original.
