M wide front

Posted by Bruce W on April 30, 2004 at 12:58:38 from (204.32.206.154):

Finally found a wide front for my M at a reasonable price.(Maybe others have been reasonable but this one is within my reach.)Now I have a few questions.
1. I understand there is an "early" and a "late" model, or design, and the main difference has to do with whether the steering linkage is front or rear mounted? This one appears to be front.(Whether it's right or wrong for my '47[?] matters not-- it's going on anyway.
2. Where can I get new wheel rims? I guess there's "early" and "late" here too, clamps or loops. My tractor now has loops, but I don't know yet which style the front uses, there are none with it. Even if it uses loops, mine are in poor shape.
3. One of the clamps on the axle tube is missing, can one of these be found?
4. Anything I need to watch out for or problems I may run into when installing it?
When I get this on and the tractor & Farmhand F-10 loader painted, it'll be just like the one Gram'pa had (as far as I or my Dad can remember)
Thanx a bunch guys an' hav a gud'un BW Northeast Colorado
