Hey guys I have a few questions about a row crop to adjustable wide front swap. I should probably mention that my great granddad bought this UTU tractor new in 1947 with the standard row crop front end-when he purchased it from the dealer new he had them convert it to an adjustable wide front axle-then around 1995 a family friend bought the tractor and converted it back to a row crop end. He sold the wide front end and a few years later I purchased the tractor back. Sorry for the long winded story! Anyway I was just wondering 1: do I need to buy a wide front pedestal along with the axle or was the pedestal a universal part. I've never seen a wide front U as Minneapolis Molines are very few and far between in my part of the world,so I have no idea what the wide font looks like mounted on the tractor-which brings me to question 2: if the pedestals are universal, is there some sort of plate that bolts to the pedestal that attaches to the tie rods to work the wide front? Again I'm sorry for the long winded post and for any confusion that I may cause, I just really want to get this tractor back into the shape that it was in years ago. If possible I would appreciate any info, suggestions or photos especially that you guys have. Thanks!
