| I have a CA wide front, not that hard to steer unless you spread it out for two row plowing. |

My narrow front is slightly hard to steer with the front wheel weights on. Don't really need them for the 3pt mower I think (580lbs). ------------- 1952 CA13092, CA Pickup Plow, CA Cultivator, CA Two Row Planter, Dunham-Lehr GC78 Disc, Grader Blade, 3pt Fm180 Finish Mower |

| A good quality ball bearing spinner on the steering wheel would be a good start. Grease the spindles with the front end jacked up. 30 lbs of air in the front tires would also be beneficial. Turn the front tires around narrow and it will steer easier. OOOpps I guess you can't with the new fangled steering arm welded to the left spindle arm !!! seesh...... |

Even though that is not needed by me on my CA's, I do admire inventors and others that think outside the box, whether it is a great success or not. Their ability to see a problem and come up with a solution is admirable.

Farm Show magazine had lots of stories like this, throughout the years, but I would never butcher a historic tractor like that... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| I didn't see him turn full left and right. I'm thinking that he doesn't have as many degrees of turning as the OEM was. |

I am a modernizer. But holy smokes NO. The power steering assist from an old Gleaner would have fit right on the steering arm and the only modification would have been the draglink then. This is way over complicated. A future parts tractor was just made. |
