Dale,

To make the four tractors into high clear sprayers the only expense you should have, other than labor and the spray tanks and equipment, would be for the reversable transmission top. Depending on the type crop, you might also need crop divider type wheel shields on the front wheel and drive wheels. A very easy conversion that makes an excellent rugged sprayer.

If you decide to go this route, leave the header connected to the picker to help stabilize it when removing the tractor but be sure to release all of the tension on the big spring before starting the project so the head will set firmly down.

If you want more flotation on the front that is provided by the single 7.50 x 20 tire, there was a wide fork option on 416, 420, 414, 422 two row pickers that could use a 10.00 x 16 or 11.00 x 16 single tire. These wide forks will fit the M through 560 bolster and provide the same overall height as the 7:50 x 20 front end. You should be able to find them at salvage yards in cotton country.
