Front End Update

Well, it has been raining all day, and work was canceled, so I have been home board. I could be doing school but I am not on my death bed yet.. hehehe. :)

Anyway, both the 1949 C with the narrow front end, and the 1952 Super C with the wide front end were under cover, so I popped the narrow front off real quick, and then put in on the trailer and hauled it up to the work shop where the Super C was.

Dropped the wide front off of it, literally... :( And slid the narrow front on... Had a heck of a time trying to get those four studs to line up with the holes, but then I discovered that one of the tires was almost flat, and things were meeting on a "level playing field". Sooo, got that all squared away, and now were are set to jet!

Now if only it would stop raining and I could get outside and go for a ride, and get some pictures of course! ;)

Not sure how long I am going to run it like this, but I am pretty sure I will end up putting the wide front back on it pretty soon, kind of a fun 2 hour project though...

You can adjust the tire spacing on most narrow front tractors. They steer harder when set wider, but they don't ball up with mud. In the Midwest, most narrow fronts were set wider during the winter, and set back to narrow when spring field work started.
 
What's the matter DG? If you would have corrected your old banished friend every time he spelled out something unreadable you would still be typing.
