I have a M narrow front that has a wedge in between the front end and the bolster. It is only the second one I have seen. Is this more common than that and I've just overlooking them or are they rare on them.

Yes the wedge was to make them steer easier. The thick part went forward so to move the spindle back. I-H even moved the one on the B back for easier steering. We put one on our M and it sure made a difference.

On my H wedge the word BACK is stamped on the thick part. I removed wedges from bothe me H and M with the thick part back and have seen 4 other M's with thick part back and have been told thats the way they went, I'm not saying you are wrong but just wondering what is the right way.

ADAM - There's CASTER built into the front ends of M's & H's. That means the front tire's contact patch on the ground is not directly under the steering shaft running verticle in the front of the tractors. That means the front wheels pivot in a circle as they turn to steer the tractor. That all helps the front tires to not shimmy in road gear but make them steer harder when standing still or with a loader on them. those wedges go in with the thicker end towards the BACK so the front tires are up under the steering shaft so they turn easier.

This wedge was put between the upper and lower bolster to make the tractor turn easier. What it did was place the lower bolster at a different degree rather than straight up and down. This was my understanding,but someone else might have a different point of view.
