Greetings all, I got the antique tractor bug a few years ago, and
I'm getting more serious about finding a project.
I'm still very naive, however, about doing a
restoration, and I'm hoping I could ask for some
advice. I'm primarily looking for a tractor to use around
a lake house, including launching boats. That
means that it will have to perform well in some
sand, and I was leaning toward finding a Farmall
with wide wheels up front for both stability and
steerability in the sand. (One my neighbors has a
Super M with tricycle-style wheels, and I've seen
him have some difficultly getting it to bite in
the sand.) It seems like it's harder, however, to
find wide-wheeled models. So, what I'm curious about is whether it's
possible to modify a narrow-style set of wheels to
the wide-style. I'm not even sure if that's a
stupid question or not... Do conversion kits
exist, or should I be prepared to built it myself? Any thoughts or suggestions you might have are
greatly appreciated. Thanks! - David
