my thoughts exactly Glenn. One rational being, a tire can be changed, but if I damage the wheel hubs and you can't change the tire....
These plates appear on all four wheels. Speculation amongst a group of us came up with with some pretty odd ideas:
Mounting plates for rail wheels so that it can travel on RR lines.
Something to do with the drive train (the 222 had 4 wheel steering)
The armor plate idea
Some sort of PTO attachment.
A cursory look on the internet yielded little in the way of info other than the hub protection.
Thanks for the help.
