IH Wide Front

Nates90 · Apr 5, 2011

I was wondering if an 806 wide front would fit on a 656? Right now I have a Nordeen wide front and would like to switch to a heavier IH wide front.

Yes it will fit.

Oh yeah,

Like Gary says it will strap right on there.

The camber geometry is a little off and it won't turn near as sharp as the original small frame wide front tho.

You can go up in the bolster on both sides with a little hand-held chop saw and narrow up those block stops, but it still will not be quite right.

First picture is the 806 front at full stop, the second picture is after I chopped the stops. Third picture is the proper front end. Notice that camber change?

Finally I just couldn't stand it anymore, gave up and swapped it out for a small frame front end, as I use the tractor is small areas and need it to spin around on a dime. That camber change made all the difference in the world when it came to spinnin' 'er around. :>)

You need a tricycle front end, Allan

As I remember from a few years back, you really like them.

Have a good day.

LOL!

Yeah, you know how "special" they are to me.

Oh, that reminds me, I gotta haul junk today. :>)

Yeah, I can see in that third picture you need a real manueverable tractor for that field in the background LOL
