I gave consideration to using a combine axel for a wide front on a tractor but did not pursue it very far. Since then I bought a P.S. unit from a MH 65 for my own 65, which was manual. While removing the P.S. unit, it struck me that it would be easy to put a wide front from a 65 on an M or similar size tractor. It looked to me like the front casting could be adapted and bolted on and if the donor tractor had P.S. about all you would have to do is provide lines and a hydraulic pressure source in order to have P.S. We do need to arrange something to connect the steering wheel/control to the front unit. Using a combine axel you might be limited by the design of the turning radius. Improper caster and camber might also complicate things.
