Hey all, I am planning to remove the front bolster and build a custom wide front on my M puller. I wanted to check with you guys and see if it is as easy as it looks. Best I can tell, with the front sheet metal, steering shaft, and radiator removed the assembly should slide out when the 4 bolts on each side are removed. What I am worried about is how tight of a fit it is and if I am going to have to loosen all the frame bolts to get it to some out. The reason I ask is because I was planning to tack weld my front weight bracket in place before removing the bolster because it will be the foundation for the new frame and front end. However, once welded, the frame rails will be one piece. If it will slide out when the bolts are removed, I will just block up the front of the tractor and use a cherry picker to pull it out. If that is not gong to work and I have to loosen everything, I need to change my plan a little. Lemme know what ya'll think. Chris
