Brad: It must be possible, I wasn't personally involved in this but it happend at IH dealer's where I did business back in the 70s. Dealer had a customer who wanted front drive on a new 986. At that time quickest way was bring in a front drive for a new 986 already in stock. The dealer also had a customer having front end problems on a 656 with loader. They installed the new 986 front end on the 656 and put the 656 front end on a used 300. I can't fill you in on particulars, I just happened to be at dealers the day they were making this change. When I was there they already had 986 front end bolted up to 656 and were trying to decide whether it would be better to tap into the 656 hydrostatic steering and plumb it to 986 external cylinder, or go with hooking 986 ty rods to 656 center steering control arm. I'm not sure which way they went on that, I saw the 656 later, believe steering cylinder was there but can't be certain. I do know the customer with 656 was quite happy with the change. In fact the last time I was by there about 10 years ago the 656 with loader was still on that farm. He was the kind of guy that didn't fool long with troubles, they got traded off very quickly.
