[AT] Case D

[Ralph Goff]

For those that don't make it down to the new atis forum here is a link to a 
photo of my Uncles on their new (to them) DC3 back in 1949. At some point 
they bought the necessary parts to convert the tractor to a wide front which 
was more popular (and practical) here in wheatland. All I have left of that 
tractor is the long steering arm and the front casting that held the caster 
assembly. Also a sort of hydraulic arm lift that originally bolted on just 
above the drawbar and was actuated by a short hydraulic cylinder. Not sure 
what it was used for.

I recall driving a DC4 home from an auction sale that  neighbour had bought 
way back in 1970. As I recall it had separate brake pedals on each side of 
the platform. Hand clutch of course.
