How do I tell the difference between a factory wide front off a wd45 and a Schwartz wide front?  We have two different wd's with wide fronts the cranks come out in different locations on the front.  Also the plate on top of one is round and the other one has a square plate.  I did not know if one of them was a schwartz or if this was just difference in design between the years.   Thanks Steve

but you might have the 4 bolt wide front if its on a wd45. the factory one in the picture is a 3 bolt. but they look the same exept there is 3 bolts to bolt them on instead of 4

A Schwartz wide front has a round axle tube, the Allis Chalmers wide fronts have square tubes.
