[SEL] IHC cart wheels

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I have a 6 HP Famous portable that has the knobby wheels in the front 
and the zig zag in the back.  I know its original and I've had several 
IH folks tell me they have seen this before.  Possibly different 
suppliers or a switchover was made and IH just used what they had during 
the switch.
