Wanting to convert a tricycle to split wheel version. I need to know if this is possible and if so where to find or how to make a kit. My grand-dad just bought this tractor and would like to make it safer to drive over uneven ground and in the woods. Thanks for any leads - Nick, U.P. Michigan

Well these guys are right to a certian extent about the JD price.But on the other hand there is if you aren't worried about orignial Swhartz made wide fronts for JD's and are about 1/2 price then all you would need is a convertable upper half I've seen them for around $250 and the front end about $350-$500 BESIDES IT'S YOUR TRACTOR and if you use stock will fit parts it will be fine.

better sell the tractor and get one with wide front. JD did make a few convertible models but they are real rare. Buying JD wide front is over $1000 expense. Good luck

If your tractor has the convertible pedestal which would have to be serial number 259371 and up then you might have a chance to find one but Chuck is right the are costly. If you have the old style one piece pedestal you have more luck just buying a true BW than to cobble. I feel that if a tractor didn't come with it from the factory it should not be changed. Unless it has a convertible pedestal.
