I could use some ideas on a project I'm working on.
picked up a set of 12-44 tires at auction on a whim because
the brackets welded to the rim looked like they would fit a C-SC center.
They did. rice style deep lugs, very tall.
put em on a beater NF C I had.
ok, now need to raise the front...a lot
ideas so far:
put 7-15 trailer tires on the C front = couple inches up.
ideas and questions:
read that Farmall 404 has the same pedestal bolt spacing, true?
saw a 16" single wheel pedestal off a 404..will it fit a C?
also saw a 2 wheel NF pedestal listed as fitting a 340-404-504,
which would let me use 16" tires. will it fit a C-SC?
How about lug style hubs that would fit a C-SC spindle? any models that would fit?
a 6-16 or 6.5-16 would raise the C's front quite a bit, still wouldn't be level, but would be
much better than now :D
A wide front would work, but I would like to keep it narrow.
any ideas would be appreciated.

I won't really be using it for anything, just some scrap pile, 'wonder if this will work' type fun
 
How much higher do you want to make the front ride?
I would take two pieces of 1/2" flat stock, that are the same size as the top of the lower pedestal. Let us say that it is 4" wide and 4" long. Drill the 4 mounting holes in each piece. Now I would weld these two pieces to a spacer to get the height that you want. The spacer could be a piece of round or rectangular tube stock. You would then need to buy 4 more nuts and bolts.

If you get that front end raised up by extending the lower
bolster, better figure out a way to brace it. If you hit a ditch or
curb, the upper bolster/steering gear housing is going to break.
 
Since 5.00x15 was standard measure from the spindle to ground then jack it up to desired height and then measure then you will know what size you need unless you build the spacer for the pedestal you didnt say how many inches you want to raise extending the pedestal is the easiest.

Thanks for the reply's so far, more are welcome.
Even though the new tires are about 67 1/2" tall and the old 36's were about 52" tall,
only about 5" of lift in the front would help a lot.
I'll pick the front up with my hoist to check later.
Until I can find out if any 16" tire pedestal will fit,
I'm leaning towards combining your ideas.
tall 15" tires on the stock front end
(either trailer tires or old bias drag race fronts)
and building a spacer
out of 2 pieces of drilled 1/2" plate with a 1" plate sandwiched between.
(roughly, I'll need just enough space to get the bolts in)
about 2" total spacer should keep the strain acceptable.
thoughts?

those Super AV rims would be great, but are worth more than this tractor and those giant $50 tires.
I'll have to find some locally and take a look, maybe I could make some out of some old 19" Ford fronts I have laying around
