My grandpa bought his 102 new in 1965 (I think the first year for them?), other than being inherited by my Dad after grandpa passed away, its a 1 owner tractor and should be one of the earliest of its kind.
The valve stems are on the outside.
I have no reason to believe the wheels were ever changed out unless grandpa demanded that such a silly design NOT be part of his tractor at initial purchase time. Grandpa didn't tolerate stupid too terribly well so that's possible but far fetched. He would have probably just bought something else instead.
