[AT] Farmall H wide front end

[Dean Vinson]

Bruce, is the wobble the source of your desire to switch to a wide front, or
did you want to switch to a wide front anyway?  It's very common for the
sector gear and bearing up at the top of the upper bolster to be worn,
resulting in front end wobble, which wouldn't be corrected by switching out
the lower bolster for a wide front.

Very simple.  Just block the tractor, remove the narrow front and install 
the wide one.  The wide front can be installed in two positions.  In the 
rear position, a special plate is neded to bolt the front end to the tractor

frame.  This plate is not needed when installing in the foreward position. 
You might want to be sure to get this plate when you find/buy the wide 
front.  One other thing, if your tractor has never had a wide front 
installed you may need to drill holes in the tractor frame for some of the 
bolts.  Good luck.  John

Hey all,

I am redoing a 1940 Farmall H that has a narrow front end that needs work 
(wheels will wobble when you turn hard or hit a bump). I was considering 
replacing the narrow configuration with a wide front end (if I can find 
one). Has anyone out there done one of these with any success?
Thanks,

Pharmr Bruce
