pickle:
put up some pictures, you've probably got loose ball plastic hubbed 80's ones  :daumenhoch:

from memory......

late 70's-very early 80 Tuff II's had steel hubs
very early 80's - around 85 they had alloy hubs
mid 80's onwards plastic hubs (loose ball bearings, although you could get sealed bearing hop up kits)
re-issue around 2006 have sealed hubs with no reflector holes in them
new school tuffs from about 2009 onwards have sealed bearings with reflector holes

give or take a few options  :-\

pickle:
Mid 80's you had some 50/50 crossover sets that ran alloy hubbed rear and plastic fronts.

Also they started to make them over here in the UK from about 85 and bolted on alloy hubs with coaster brake as they didn't have the rivet machines over here. these have made in UK stamped on them.
