The front weights are still on it because I have been too lazy to take them off, and because Dad always had them, and because all the other tractors have them, etc. etc. etc. But seriously folks, I often find myself using the brakes to assist the steering, as the fronts try to slide sideways. I haven't tried it without the weights, but I put them right back on the Super C in a hurry after I changed that front end. The same objection comes up to using a low profile car tire, about zero traction for steering, especially on grass or once the tread fills with mud. There is just no substitute for a rib front tractor tire. Even rib implement tires just don't grab as well. That is a good point about spacing the front wheels out. I am still experimenting with this, and I do appreciate your suggestions.
As far as a Char-Lynn power steering system, the M is first in line for that, if I ever get the money. The "Armstrong steering unit" does not work nearly as well as it did when I was nineteen. It seems like every time I get the cash together for it something else comes along that is more urgent.
