[AT] Some ads from the 1/17 Lancaster Farming

[Dean Van Peursem]

I didn't make myself very clear. The required equipment I described is to
make this tractor configured like the earlier model tractors that had the
BWH or BNH designations. In the later years they were called "Vegetable" or
"High Clearance" tractors after the BWH and BNH designation was dropped. I'm
sorry for the confusion I created.

The correct equipment for a BW to leave the factory as a BW would include
42" rear tires, dished (offset) rear cast centers, extra long axles, extra
long "Round" rear axle housings and a wide front end with the 2" longer
front spindles. A BN from the factory would include the same equipment
except the front would be changed to a single 16" front wheel. If it wasn't
a BW or BN from the factory the rear axle housings would be square with
regular length axles. Both the 1952 BN and BW had a convertible front end so
it was quite easy to change front ends from a single front wheel "BN" to the
WFE "BW". Or even a 10" single front wheel or a regular WFE.  A serial #
search at Two Cylinder Magazine would probably yield how it was configured
when shipped. But ..... could have been changed and not recorded at the
factory, or at a branch or at a dealer or even by an owner. The BWH and BNH
designations were dropped by JD several years earlier when the convertible
front end became standard. Also a WFE with standard length spindles off of a
regular B could have been put on this tractor so it would be wise to do a
serial number search with Two cylinder Magazine AND also COMPARE THE SPINDLE
LENGTHS.   A BIT CONFUSING BUT TO COMMAND A HIGHER PRICE IT WOULD NEED TO
CARRY THE DESIGNATION "BW" FROM THE FACTORY.

However, I'd be willing to bet a reasonable amount that this is a real "BW".

BW is the correct designation for a 1952 with long axles, 42" rears and an 
adjustable wide front.  John
