Where are all the hubcaps

[seven 202]

Didn't all wheelhorses come with hubcaps what's the deal?

I’m sure they were an option and not included on every tractor.

Bunch of 'em in the classifieds.

Only a few like the 417-A  and other upscale models had them as part of the package.

I have a set from my Bronco 14, the smooth dome ones with just the plain WH logo.

The plating on the hubcaps is thin.I would think that a lot of them were discarded because of rust or dents.The first 416H I bought came with a pristine set of caps.They were the first things I removed.The way I use my machines these hubcaps are safer in the shop.

Anywhere but on a tractor around here!

 

I actually prefer the look of the bare wheel anyway but they'd get dented with us driving through the rough forest.

I've had a set that just recently were given a better home.

 

You can find em up for sale online and this sites classifieds.

I'm sure the wheel covers were an option too.Just think,if the wheel cover option was say,like 5 dollars,back when these tractors were purchased,5 bucks was a lot of money.Way too much for a few pieces of chrome that served no purpose.How times have changed.Hate to sound old.....but I am.

I saw one time a few years back a set on E-Bay all original in the box with packaging sold for $500. There in some ones collection now.
