This is a first for me in this forum, and please dont point a gun at me.

Has anyone here converted a B into a BN by using A rear axles and a C engine on a B?

If so can they please share here or by email what the hiccups and problems will be as I undertake this task for my father?

My ultimate goal is to get the rear end as narrow as possible with as stout an engine as possible for small garden work and mowing. This is a project my father has dreamed of for 20 yurs and hes over 70 so for him I am taking this on.

Thank you

Are you planning on using rear mounted types of tooling such as cults or moldboard plow? The A diff housings do not have the bosses to mount any of the rear type tooling. The left diff shaft will have to be shortened 4in. You can use the right one from an A. I have two BNs and parts to make another if you want to buy some. The drawbar is not hard to narrow the 8in needed. What is your location as they are heavy. You have plenty of power traction is the big item. What items do you plan on using?

Thank you for the information. To clarify myself I am hoping to simply change both B axles to A Rt side A axles. I am going to keep the B rear drive simply change the axles and housings.

For some reason I thought the C engine was bigger thus getting more ponies, again I was thinking when I should have asked more questions.

Again thank you for the information, and I will do my best to listen and keep all 4 wheels on the ground.

The only differance between the B and the BN is the BN has 18" axles and the B has 22" axles. As for putting the A final drive on a B tractor, unless you are using in on flat ground only, it could be a death trap, it makes the tractor so narrow it can be upset very easily. As for putting a C engine in it, if I am not mistaken the A, B and the C had a C113 engine, I think they increased engine RPM to increase horsepower.
