Have two on the tractor and one spare. Wondered what the $ value was and some idea of how many are around these days. Can't seem to find much information on them. Hoping someone on here can help. Thanks~ Sarah.

I did that and "Chip" suggested I post it here 
Thanks for looking at the post.
I attached another picture. One that shows the wheel off the tractor in case that helps.

Sarah,
while I really don't know the value of those, they are steel wheel bolt ons for a ford n series tractor. Someone has doubled the lugs on them, as so the go both in and out instaed of just out. These were a dealer assembled item and most were assembled with John Deere lugs on them. Yours appear to have an Oliver style lug. Ford did not offer any lugs so dealers would go to other sources for lugs. A very cool item.
I hope a ford guy can give you a value.

ps nice tractor

Sarah,
Guys here are right... looks like Ford 9N or 2N steel.
I went to google images and typed in "Ford tractor steel wheels"... there are some pics there - and if you click and image it enlarges. Then double-click on the larger image it will take you to the site that photo came from.
Don't know how OLD these ads were (links came here to YT classified ads) - but one asked for $400 for a rusty pair of wheels, one asked $480 for a pair that had been sand blasted and primer coated.
Link below is for a past ad from YT. But again, I do not know the date of any of the ads that can be accessed – so unsure how relevant value is. *So I would think the value would only have increased over time. And tip-toe/skeleton/dinosaur lugged steel wheels always seem to be higher priced.
If link does not work – you can paste these into your browser to see the old YT ads.

Thank you gentlemen ~
The time and effort you put forth (so quickly I might add) was greatly appreciated.

My sincere apology. I don't know how to read individual profiles on here. Thank you for making me aware of my error.
Sarah, as MrJDMan80 said, those are what we refer to around
here as "helper rims". They were bolted on outside the rubber
tires and wheels to add grip in certain conditions.
Actual steel wheels for Fords were solid across like the pair below.
I really can't put a price on them either, but the cheapest I've
seen them on Craigslist around mid-Michigan was about $250.
That's without the Oliver style "Tip-toe" cleats installed.
The only thing I know of that steel wheels are used for now days
(other than show) is to mow brush/briars without popping an
expensive rubber tire.

Royse: You were spot on with the thorns in a
rubber tire reasoning. Thank you for the picture
and information.
I attached a picture of the tractor including it's
"custom" (hand made) front metal wheels also.
Would you happen to know if there are any metal
wheels that were manufactured and are
interchangeable for this MF 35. The ones he has
now work, but he would like another set if there
any to be had???

Not sure my second question was clear...
The post above, with the pic including the custom (handmade) front wheels....was meant to inquire about any steel FRONT wheels being manufactured and or interchangeable. ???
You all did a great job answering the back wheels already. Time for more coffee ~

Factory made fronts exist. I have a set that came from an auction with a set of rears identical to yours. They are a standard 6 bolt implement pattern.
The intent was to mow overgrown pastures and fields which have thorn issues. The Ferguson/Ford pattern(8 on 6")also fits my small DBs.

Yes, there are some out there.
Ford would probably interchange again, if they came from an 8N
on up with the 6 bolt front wheel pattern. 9N/2N were a wide 5 bolt
pattern, so they wouldn't work unless the whole hub would fit.
There are probably others as well.
Maybe like these on this Oliver 70. Poke Here
