Good observation Zyta.
I've seen these in the parts books but don't recall seeing actual pictures before.
Maybe I've seen them but didn't realize what they were?
It is one beautiful restoration Blee!

The entire restoration looks great! I have the bolt on row crop on my 45 puller. And on my WD-65 project Buda 262 cubic inch 6cylinder gasser I have a bolt on single front. I hope my WD-65 will look that good in the spring.

Awesome job on an awsome tractor. I did not notice the narrow front adapter at first, I was blinded by the paint! Brian, if you don't mind, pm me with the serial number and I will add it to the list, that is if I don't already have it. Also, if anyone else out there has a 45D they want to add to the registry, pm with the serial number and list of options, i.e. wide front, power steering, etc. Anyone on the registry is entitled to a copy of it; but I need your email address to be able to send it to you.

Nice job! I noticed the bolt on narrow front before I read Zyta's comment. Good observation. But than we each have some of the bolt ons so we should notice them.
