That current model theory is a good one California.
But to the wheel thing. Very few of these tractors here in america rolled out of a containor assembled. Just take up too much room that way. They take the wheels and fenders off and build a two tier structure in the containers and load them in and stuff the tires under them to cushion them and where ever else there is room. So when they get here there is no gaurentee that the tires that are put on a tractor actually came off that unit. And if your talking about VN tractors who knows where the rims and tires are from. Even a good Jap exporter possibly has tires just lined up and pulls so many rears and so many fronts to pack a container with..i bet there not particuar to pay attention to what tires are with what unit let alone the importer here who got them. SO i think the tire thing tells you nothing but the age of the rim.
