I bought a wide front end and wonder if there's any info out there in regards to how to go about doing this swap out?
I am looking for possible step by step instructions...

If you have the CA wide front it is a take off and bolt back on.

First jack up to take the weight off the front wheel from under the torque tube where the wishbone connects.
You remove the hood, the radiator shell, the radiator, remove the nut from the front steering arm and link. You are down to the four bolts holding the bolster to the block.

The wide front can roll under the tractor lining up the wish bone and the four studs in the block. Put back what you took apart and your good to go.

If your a bull like I used to be you can do it yourself. I ran into a situation a time or two that it would have been best to have help. Now I need help to remove the key and put it back in.
