would make the tractor worth more .U can buy a CA narrow front just about anywhere and put it on .I know its what ever floats your boat ,But what's your opinion on it making it worth more or less .. ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead.

I like narrow front tractors so to me a D12 narrow front looks nice. Not sure about value but would be a handy raking tractor. Tom |

I cant see how it would increase the value ? Might be a few applications, but i think the wide front would attract more people. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I have seen a narrow front D12. It looked cool. Not sure what it would do to the value but it would be a novelty at a show ! ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| Does it bolt up easily. It would look neat but like the others said, not sure what value would be. |

For some reason I am attracted to the narrow fronts from a looks stand point. I have them for antique tractor pulling. But I would prefer to work with a wide front tractor. As far as value. I would doubt that someone would pay a lot more for a narrow front? Maybe a few hundred?

| I like the looks of it too. Have no idea on more or less value. It only takes two people to want it to make it more valuable. |

I would help with the lack of sharp turning ability on the wide fronts. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

hmm....
would help with the lack of sharp turning ability on the wide fronts. never owned a NF so question. How does a NF turn sharper than a WF, providing you hard brake a WF rear wheel, doesn't a WF turn 'back' onto the stopped wheel so it then drives where it was ? probably one of those 'gotta see a picture' thing for me.... just curious...

The D12 hits the steering stops quickly, I am not sure the degree, but it is far less than a D15 or D17 My CA (Narrow) will turn on a dime (No hitting the brakes) ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

I think it looks great too. I don't think it will increase the value, but might be more useful to a farmer. ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

The more I look at it, the better I like it! Might try one myself. It would be a great cultivator tractor. Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |
