The spindles are 19" from the center of the hub spindle to the top. The extra length is all below the steering stops. Thanks for any help CK [Reply]   [No Email]

I saw quite a few in Italy that had grape harvesting equipment hanging under their bellies. I even saw a 3 cylinder Ford 4000 that looked just like mine except that it was up on stilts with a grape harvester hanging under it. [Reply]  [No Email]

All I was getting at is that these machines are specialized equipment they are not tractors anymore and they cannot do three point, drawbar or pto like a REAL HIGH CLEARENCE TRACTOR can do .

Every one just like this one has the sprayer tank removed from under the tractor and the wands removed from the sides . Around here in New England they were used for spraying corn , my Uncle has two of them still sitting in the Barn on Ford Chassis's but newer Blue ones with 172's in them . They ARE NOT RARE or worth anything except to scrap the kit and put the tractors back on the ground where they belong . Thanks Tony [Reply]  [No Email]

I find myself switching back and forth between modern and classic view quite a bit to see what I want to see. [Reply]  [No Email]

Look next to reply and it will say send email where as your post and mine says no email on classic view. You need to enter your email every time in the classic view reply for this to work and show send email. So I would say Jerry is using classic view. He does not have a email set up in modern view. I looked at modern view and your post only showed a AIM button. I had to log into the modern view for your email button to show. So all you guys that say your email is always open on modern view. Yes it is but only if the other person has a log in (registered used) and is logged into the site. [Reply]  [No Email]

Now it makes me wonder. I don't see anywhere on either Modern or Classic View that your email is open. Does this post show that mine is open on Modern View? [Reply]  [No Email]

I -think- I have mine set to always be open on modern, but I have to type it in each time I want it to show on classic. Tractor Rod's hi-crop 8N is like the first picture, right? Saw it at Almelund.

His rear wheels are a little different though. They used a cast 1 piece unit to go between the original centers and the larger wheels. [Reply]  [No Email]

A local fellow has a restored one with those extensions below the original spindles. Just saw it last weekend at a tractor show. I'm guessing they added 6-7" to the front and it has maybe 38" rubber on the back end. I could put you in touch with the owner if you wished to talk about it with him. My email is open.
