I've seen quite a few variations of IHC steel, but that isn't one of them. Am guessing, since the tractor is in Europe, that the wheels were probably made "over there".

Christophe,

I can see the spokes are not going straight to the center of the wheel.

The where some very old American makes also made such system, like you can see on the Legendairy Hart Parr nr 3.

It coult be coming from an coople of very old French tractor makes like an prototype of an very early :.

Marcel Landrin

Ore an

Motoculteur

Motoculteur also have made some very rare wheels.

But the wheels coult be also made for implement stuff like lifters, planters, seeders etc.

Wel thanks for sharing this

Chris

What ever they are, they seem to be laced like a bike wheel. It would make the tractor worth having just cause the wheels are so different.

Maybe some military related wheels? They make me think of the Pavesi wheels but probably aren't Thanks for posting!

I was also thinking Jon's comment. Radial spokes must transmit torque through bending only whereas these transmit torque from the hub partly by tension. A bicycle wheel uses tension only.
