Hello guys, anyone ever installed from a narrow front to a wide front on a wd...i assume they have to be close in years...both are wd's...is this hard? also how long can this take a fellow?
also what do i need to convert from trip bucket to fully hydraulic...i want to get rid of my manure bucket and put on a dirt or snow bucket if anyone has one that is not too much money...i have a paulson loader...


thanks,
Gary
hello old...
 
Sure- I've switched them. Actually, a 3 bolt wide front is factory legal on a '47-'48 WC. Just unbolt front ends, 8 bolts, unhook the U-joint on the steering shaft, and switch. Paulson loader is common in MN- made in Elk River/Anoka? google for location- they still exist. You need two-way hyd to have a hyd bucket. I reversed my WD in the late 70s, added front hyd pump for independent hyd,

I think it took me about an hour or so to do mine. If you unbolt the left side frame rail all the way back to the rear housing, it'll spread enough to make sliding the bolster out and in so much easier. Be prepared for at least one of those 8 bolts to break off though.

If like most tractors going from a trike front to a wide front as long as you have all the pieces and parts it should be a simple bolt on deal all be it heavy and hard to handle BTDT on an Olive Super 88 and it was in fact bolt for bolt switch but very heavy and hard to handle
 
It's bolt for bolt. Only addition is the wide front uses 2 bolts back to the front engine support (the angle iron right behind the bolster). Those holes are there, but are probably covered over and full of grease/oil. Scrape around and you'll find them.
