I have a John Deere MT and have been thinking about replacing the original tricycle front end with a wide front end. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I was curious about where I could find a wide front end and what would be involved to make the change over.

My dad put a wide front on our MT way back when we kids were using it. With the narrow front, it had a nasty habit of jerking the steering wheel out of your hands when it hit a hole or rut. The wide front sure tamed that down.

The wide fronts are hard to come by these days.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I will be "wanting" for a little while longer.

AVERY, I TOO HAD THE WIDE FRONT FEVER WHEN I PURCHASED MY 50 MT A YEAR AGO. THEY ARE OUT THERE, BUT YOU WILL PAY AROUND 1200-1500 FOR THE FRONT ASSEMBLY BY ITSELF. TRY DENNIS POLK OR A SALVAGE YARD, THEY ARE ALL OVER THE NET. QUITE AN INVESTMENT FOR A LITTLE TRAdeoff, but you want what you want. i have seen two factory wide front mt's on the net from 2600-4500 in diff. conditions.

Avery,

IS there a specific reason you want to do so other than maybe wanting a frt-end-loader? I believe that would be a major challenge/cost and perhaps more cost-effective to sell your MT and but an M with a wide-front, or buy a wide-front MT, but they are much, much harder to find.

Good Luck,
tom
