I am looking for WF for my M and I'm afraid I have confused myself with my options and what I want to spend. I am going to put a loader on my M w/live HD but will be used for light duty work. Move brush piles, move sandy dirt and just be handy.

Best deal: IH early adjustable. tye rod in front.
Only $150 more a later IH tye rod behind off a 400 (very tempting). Shhwartz about the same price as IH late off 400.
Where do the IH early style adjustable WF have problems? Will it be a broblem with a loader?

I�ve had two Schwartz wide front ends on my M. It has live hydraulics, 12 volt start, 15.5-38 tires on 14� rims, Behlen power steering and a DuAll 325 loader on her. I used to work it almost every day when I still farmed, now it just does odds and ends around the yard. The front end I currently have is a heavy duty one with 6-bolt hubs that I have 8X16� rims on with 236-16� load range E used pickup on. I can�t think of a drawback to it.

I have never had a genuine IH wide front, so can�t give any info on it, but did have hubs that took the original M front rims that clamped on like the rear wheels. I hated that one as the rims would work loose, turn on the hubs and sheer off the valve stems. Welding blocks that fit the notch in the hub eliminated the valve stem problem, but the rims still worked loose. I like the 6-bolt hub a lot better.

With the old IH wide front, it takes about 40 acres to turn it around, unless you have the adapter plate to make it short wheel base, then it only takes 20 acres to turn.
Personally, I am cheap and would go with the old IH, even though it takes awhile to turn it, and it sticks out funny. I would rather have it correct, in case I ever wanted to restore it.
They're all good widefronts- if you want the tie-rods behind, go with the late IH instead of the Shwartz- then it would be somewhat correct. Plus, I believe the IH is more valuable than the Shwartz.
Just my thoughts
