Farmall Trac-Paver

I've seen that there are some previous discussions on here about the Farmalls that Trac Manufacturing built into pavers, but I just have a question or two. To start out, my family has been in the contracting business since 1979. So when I got the chance to buy some antique equipment from a defunct asphalt contractor, I jumped. Included in that was this 460 based Trac Paver. I collect mostly Minneapolis Molines, and antique earthmoving equipment, but not pavers. To me, I'd really like to find a front end for the Farmall and use it as a tractor. I don't intend on selling it, I just want something that would be more useful to me. My question is, how difficult would it be to find a hi crop front end for it? Any input is appreciated. It was running 2 years ago, so it should be easy to get going again. I'm just trying to come up with a plan for it.
 

Here is a picture of the Trac-Paver in question.

I grew up near the Trac factory in Nunda, NY. As a kid I enjoyed riding by the plant and seeing 400/450/460 Farmalls - all painted in primer and without wheels - lined up in the yard awaiting conversion.

Fond memories!
 
If you really want to make it useful, convert it back into a row-crop tractor. The parts will be much easier to find. Hi-crop tractors are rare, but row-crop tractors are common, and the parts you need (rear axle housings, axles, and wheels) are usually still there on "parted out" tractors. Narrow fronts are also pretty easy to come by. One from an M will fit if I am not mistaken.
 
Thanks for the input guys. Maybe I'll get this one running and just let it sit on the back burner until I can find some parts for it. Row crop or high crop
