[Larry D. Goss]

Weren't all the F-20's and F-30's rigged that way?

Maybe they have a more polished approach to the way my uncle had his
Super M 
Farmall rigged years ago.  He used it to pull logs out of the woods.  I 
never understood exactly why he did it but he had a piece of angle iron 
attached so that it stuck out to each side of the tricycle front end
fork. 
On the ends of the angle irons he attached cables that cris-crossed
under 
the belly of the tractor and were attached to the brakes somehow.   I
don't 
remember exactly how it was hooked up at the brakes but it was situated
such 
that when he turned the steering wheel past a certain spot the cable
took up 
on the brake linkage for the appropriate wheel.
