F12 Wide Front

Anybody know where I might find a wide front end for an F12? I would like one in good condition. What price range should I expect them to be in?
 
As a matter of fact I know of a guy in Tennessee that had 2 for sale back in June. He may still have one or both of them. Send me an email and I will give you his contact info.
 
If you are not too picky,and not a member of the 'correct police'(LOL),you can easily 'adapt' a wide front from a SuperC to an
F-12.I did,came out pretty well,only it still uses the cast hub/wheel.You couldn't tell unless you knew otherwise. unless Just make a
plate to go between the frame rails,attatch the front to that.A little 'adapter plate' hooks the draglink to the bolster.Also 'lowered' it to set level with the 13x26 rear tires.Steers
easy and turns on a dime.

Hey, that is pretty neat. I don't know if I would be as good as you fitting one up like that so I would prefer to find an original.

Email sent, Thanks!
 
Thanks for the kind words....I really wasnt hard at all.A bit of measureing and a couple 'pictures' scribbled on paper....I used
3/8 plate steel.Should have used 1/2",3/8 was what I had....But it is just fine.I once had a WD9 front on anM Still have a JD
'A' with an M front.Recently saw a JD 60 with a AC WD45 front.Many years ago,a 'neighbor' had a 3010 with an Oliver 77/88
front.Over the years I've seen many adaptions.Some were 'hatchet jobs',some were well built and planned I like that kind of
'stuff'.If it's not available or you just cant afford to buy it,make your own!American farmer ingenuity at its finest!

He was pretty proud of those Kirk. He wanted as much for just a front axle as I bought my whole F-12 wide front tractor for.

shop around some, they're out there
 
There is an F-12 for sale in mongomery, NY with wide front mounted asking price $3600
I beleive I saw it on CL. I have not seen any for sale off tractor.

I am offering all the free salt he needs to get someone to swallow what is he serving.
 
3600 is pretty high

I picked this one up for 2100 at an AUCTION........

The guy Kirk mention earlier that was at RPRU wanted 2200 for just an axle......
