O. K. Thanks for that information. You can contact the museum in Charles City and for a slight fee they can tell you more about your tractor. It was probably set up that way when new. The point I wanted to make is the first year or 2 I worked for the dealer (1960) we were always swaping tires (and wheels), types of front ends and if they were with or with out power steering. Contact Charles City they can tell you more. Questions?
