[AT] CA Widefront Help/Advice

[David A. Laughead Jr.]

A few of them are the same, The parts in green I beleive are the same part.
However, the bevel gear I have in green I am not sure about, the part number
for the narrow front is different than the part number for the wide front so
don't know if it will work. The parts in red are parts I definatly need
except the shims that I think I have but colored them the wrong color.

>From the answers I got on the AC forum, its looking like it will be hard to
come by those parts themselves. I get the feeling people that have those
parts will have complete front ends and won't be willing to sell those
pieces when they can get $500 for a complete front end. Well $500 was the
last one that was quoted to me anyway.

There has to be a market to build new front ends for these tractors as high
as the price of the used ones is getting, if only I had a machine shop!
