Hello Jordon,
No they had not been through a fire all of the rubber is still intact, its mainly to do with the type of work that they were used for in this area where they are, they were run up to small trees( Mulga trees} in time of drought and used to push the trees over so that the stock who had nothing else to eat could eat the leaves of the trees, and more often then not they bottomed out on rocks, if you do this often enough the steel as it is hard will crack, I have seen many of these carriers with holes in the floors and very large cracks, although this South Australian one i
s by far the worst example that I have seen
Regards,
Ron,
PS, Jordon as you can see rust is not much of a problem,
