The adjustable wide front: What years was it made? Did the buyer always have the choice of cast vs. steel wheels? Were the options available simply for the weight factor? G.F.

O.K., guys. Here's what I know. In July 1997 I went to Colorado for a family reunion. On Friday
I went to Denver to visit friends and do a little shopping. On my way back to Fort Collins, I got in behind a pickup with a wide adjustable DC on a trailer. The next day I had to go 100 miles east to pick up a late D for a friend. On my way back to Fort Collins, I went through Eaton, CO where they were having some type of festival. There
was an antique tractor pull and there was that same DC which as I recall was a 1940.
My A253 parts book (tractors prior to 4511449)
lists the wide adjustable front as an option.
This makes sense to me as there was a wide adjustable CC at the CASE expo in Rollag MN in 1992.

Adding to you thread. (Sorry) Also, how strong was the adjustable WFE? Can it handle the weight of a front end loader?

Thanks

All the questions I've asked, I guess it's about time I answer one! It can handle a loader but you have to use your head. I have a couple spindles in my shop someone gave me which are both bent from lifting excessive weight. I know the guy over lifted: cars, gravel, etc. He then butchered his up by putting on some truck spindles---UGLY! He gave me his old ones because the cast iron housings are fine and one of mine has a broken steering stopper. Glenn

Thanks Glenn,

I am hopeing to lift some round bales and such. I would figure the most I would want to lift is 1500 pounds. If 1500 is too much, then maybe I should look for a DC4 front.

Hope someone answers your first question. :)

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

I know that the adjustable wide front was available for at least 6 years 1947-1953 because I have a picture of a new 1947 with one. I would NOT use an AWF with a loader. They are just a little light duty which is odd considering Case seemed to engineer by weight most of the time. I noticed quite a few broken axles that have been rewelded in my search for one.

Good point. It does look a little light, but I never seen on upclose.
