Here are some pictures of my progress installing the DC4 front on my DC3. One cool thing is you can install the front end while leaving the tractor supported on the tricycle front. My wishbone is about 2 inches short of the pan bracket. But my wishbone was broken and been welded on. I will have to cut it and re-weld it back to the correct hight. If anyone has a DC4 steering arm and steering rod for sale or a picture of one, it would sure help me.

Thanks

-Dave

Looks good. I am in the process of putting an adjustable widefront on my DC. Am still rebuilding the axle and king pins, but I will get done someday.

I could not get new axle pins, so I had to machined them myself. Not much of a machinist, but they came out ok

I like the looks of the DC4 configuration. You will not like the way it steers unless you have biceps like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not too long ago I switched my '53 DC from the front axel you are mounting to an adjustable wide front. It now steers very nicely.

I have no trouble steering my 1940 DC4. In fact, at one time the steering gear was too loose and it wobbled all over the road.
It has turning brakes and I use them freely.

You should be able to jack the wishbone up and put the pin in. DK
