Risking being "shot down" again on this John Deere board I will try my best to be accurate and just amswer your questions. I have seen a G type styled tractor with a all steel seat of the "butt bucket" type that was equipped with a wide front adjustable axle. The main thing that attracted me to this tractor was that it had the "elephant trunk" upper bolster in contrast to the straight universal type bolster my '48 GW has. I could not find a serial number tag on this tractor, so I'm not sure whether it was one of the very early GW"s or if it was a GM with a factory wide front, A "GMW" sort of--uh, maybe. I saw the tractor about 6 years ago at an agricultural ranch/processing center on Hwy 99 south of Yuba City, California. From what I have seen at shows, John Deere Expo's included, most if not all, late styled AW's, BW's, and GW's, used the same wide front axle assemblies, with the exception that most of the later models of all the tractors used a 2 inch shorter rise on the vertical portion of the spindle resulting in 2 inches less crop clearance under the horizontal upper axle frame. These tractors may not have been "true W" models, but plain row crop versions fitted with the optional wide front, I never took time to check. In all cases the assemblies on all the tractors were the round adjustable type with the steering arm ball entering the swivel joint on the tie rod from above on the early type and from below on the later types. Where in the production run of these tractors the changes were made I have no idea.(But maybe I will try to find out).
