This was moved that distance because thats the size plate I had lying around. I think you could go 2 to 3 in further without having to change the rear pivot bracket. Were the axle is attached to the plate the back holes are tapped for bolts, the front 2 holes are drilled up through the front end casting secured with nuts and bolts with washers shimming the gap between plate and casting. The other misc. pics are mods I have done to make the tractor easier to service and more comfy. Shorten swing out batt box, tipped forward steps, air seat with light grey int.(cooler). I might be a little slow to answer any questions you might have as we will have a house full of company this weeked. Rod. [Reply]   [No Email]

Hey, I am real close to getting in my new shop. Some plumbing,electrical, and 1 more big door and were in bussiness. I want to be in the 1st of the year. I have held tight to the 970, I don't think I'm going to part with it. Don't let your company eat all the vension! Eric   [Reply]  [No Email]

Extending the wheelbase on 13and 1570's became popular after people seen the benefits of its use on the 90 series tractots. There was a company making a long wheelbase kit for the 12, 13 and 15's who's name I don't know, but CASE never offered it as a factory option that I know of. There is no parts listed in the parts book for anything other than a standard axle. Rod.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The air seat is already in the shop. I think I'll try the step plan too.   [Reply]  [No Email]
