SUPER C FARMALL SINGLE FRONT TIRE QUESTION???

bodid1998 · Nov 9, 2009

I am in the process of restoring a 1952 super c farmall with a single front tire. My question is the fork slants and is it supposed to slant fowards or backwards neither way looks right to me so any help appreciated.

To the rear. Just like a furniture caster, that's the way it will go when moving forward.

Thanks Scott that is what I thought but before I wrestle that 200lb front wheel again I wanted make sure it was right for the correct police !!!

Thanks Dustin IL

You're welcome.

That's the same adjustment they touch up when they do the caster on an automotive alignment. Leaning them that way is what makes them stay pointed ahead when going forward, and tend to turn the wheel when backing up. Not sure the bolt pattern would even have let you, but if you'd got it on backwards, you'd have had an awful time keepin' that wheel straight driving along! LOL

Happy motoring!

The fork will mount either way but it is supposed to point to the rear.
