I'm wondering if it is possible to convert my MH-30 row crop to a wide front. Can anyone shed any light on how this would be done? Also, anyone have the parts to do it, or know of someone who might?

You can't convert a row crop to a standard, but I believe there was a wide row crop version of the 30 and you can change over to that. If you can't find one you may be ble to make a 44 wide front work. Good Luck.

A 33 or 44 wide front end should work. But they are sometimes scarce.

Last summer at a parade I saw a neat 44 owned by
a fellow nearby who is a MH user. This 44 is his mowing tractor. After laying it on its side in a road ditch he started looking for a wide front end for it. Nothing was available in the area so he started looking at other alternatives. He found a derelict JD 55 square back combine and pulled the steering axle and all controls from it. The axle is narrowed a bit and a bolster was fabricated to mount it under the 44 frame casting. The steering pump is mounted at the front of the H260 engine and driven directly off an add-on front pulley that was attached to the crankshaft pulley. The steering motor is mounted at the bottom of the steering shaft near the belt pulley. The steering motor control valve is mounted on a bracket inside the frame below the engine/trans coupling. The reservoir is behind the grille. Custom hoses were fabricated. This set up looks slick, nearly "factory" and works well.
