Is it possible to swap out a narrow front end to a wide front end on a CA?? Found a beautiful CA and need to know before throwing down the cash. Thanks.

As long as you have the bolster with the wide front. The narrow front (two tires) ends do not have the same bolster as the wide fronts. They are different internally and make a difference.

They out there but not the easiest thing to come across. Most people don't separate the two because you can't use one without the other. I have one that needs a little work but I'm not sure I'm ready to part with it.

I've seen a lot of front ends listed, just didn't know if it would be an extra part to look for. Both of my other allis tractors have wide front ends so I've never done a swap.

If it's an entire assembly it's just four large nuts. Two on each size and your steering rod connection. You do have to take your hood, grill, and radiator off of course. It's easy. If you need guidance let me know.

When I bought my CA it had a B arched front axle. If you just want a wide front and don't care about correct that's another option.
