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. AaronSEIA   [Reply]  [No Email]

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. AaronSEIA   [Reply]  [No Email]

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,   [Reply]  [No Email]
