Kirk:
My 51 side mount has the 16" with holes. No evidence that it ever had a loader on it. The front end and steering is good and snug, as is the rest of the tractor which makes me believe that a lot of people that didn't use a loader opted for the 16" wheels. 600x16 was a common auto wheel size at that point in time which gave the owner a wider choice of tire types to choose from.
