Original paint color?

I don't think IH cub rims ever had valve stems on the inside.

I have to ask, how do you identify early vs late style rim's?

Also as to color. I have seen the color chart available in the tech section and it does not appear to specify different yellow and white colors for the originals, yet when looking at photographs often at least the yellow looks different on the originals than other "early" cubs (like those into the early 70's). Is it truly supposed to be a different yellow, or is this just an illusion?

Thanks,

I also would like to know how to tell the difference in early vs late rims. On my two sets the only differences are valve stems inside on one and outside on the other and the big center hole of the rim has a different lip on one vs the other. Otherwise they look the same as far as I can tell.

As I understand it, on the early rims, the area where the centers attached to the rim was greater (or open spaces were smaller), may be more, but that is the easily identified trait. Here is a picture I got somewhere of the early rim (saved from another conversation on this subject)


Also, as I understand it, there were NO IH rear rims in the early tractors with the valve stem on the inside. Those are likely another maker's rims (have heard WH, Sears, etc.).

Thanks. I looked back at pics of the rims and I see the difference now. Mabe these are not IH rims??
