   At a glance you can tell all the parts on this tractor are not 1941 vintage by the age of the paint. Somebody has come a long way into restoring this C into this nice condition. Looks like a new steering wheel and front wheels. Cs with short steering arms were used up to C18162. Foot brakes on Cs started at C5756.

	This C has a C steering box on the front, but the bottom part of the wide front, square tube and wishbone are CA! A C wide front has the braces that go out to the square tube that come out from the wishbone coming much farther out toward the spindle area. Also the brace is just cut off on the end instead of being machine flattened on the ends like this one, as they were on a CA. I am sure it is a C & CA morphed together, still looks pretty nice though. I would post a picture of my C wf but its not here at the house right now.

	From looking at parts book drawings of C and CA widefronts the most obvious difference is how the pivot bar braces are welded in. On a C the short brace is on the top of the long pivot bar wishbone which have a bend in them. On a CA the short brace is on the bottom of the long pivot bar wishbone which is straight. Can't really see this in the photo of the front axle back in page 1. Both short braces appear to be welded to the box tube in the same place near the ends on both the C and the CA

	Probly right Rich. I would guess the top casting and short arm was from a narrow front and was not removed and the CA wide axle was bolted to it. I never tried that switch but it always looked like it could work. That would just be a four bolt chore and one pivot nut. No tin, drag links or radiator to remove. Seems the way to go if you like that short arm.
