Just finished up mounting a Schwartz wide front on a F-20.
It came off an old Oliver- had to have new spindles turned to accept the IH wheels. New bearings, bushings, ball studs on the tie rods- the whole 10 yards. I had to fab up a new cradle to mount the top of the wide front to the underside of the frame.
I had a parts tractor and cut the lower part of the pedestal off- don't worry you purists, I have the original one that can be bolted back on if I want to change it back.
I took it out for a spin and it turns easy. Hope to paint it this spring.

did you have a tough time cuting the boster? Im toying around doing something like that with an IH wide front I have. Paul
 
I used a 4 1/2" grinding disc and went around as deep as I could. This got me most of the way through. I then took a sledge, gave it a wack and it popped off. A little more grinding and she was smooth. Cast iron was not too bad to cut.
 
were you cut through was there cast around the center shaft or did you need to add a bushing? thanks for the input.
 
There was considerable play between the shaft and the casting bolster. I installed a block and bearing on the cradle to secure it.

Just curious, why would you want a wide front on a F-20 and how do you use the starting crank with that front axle?

i bought a wide front that was on a f-20 but did not see how it was mounted as it was off when i went to pick it up. now have it on my M
 
That looks awesome, Eric!! How did you go about turning down the spindle? You would need a pretty big lathe to fit the spindle in because of the vertical part.
