I have a charlynn power sterring unit off of a unstyled wc that I would sell.It will work for you but you may have to cut your hood to make the pump work with the brackets that are with the pump.Send a PM if Interested.

Thanks

Why do you want you dad to put wide front end on the WD? Wide fronts typically turn harder than a narrow front end. Maybe you should check the condition of the steering brakes. lol NO OFFENSE, BUT YOUR IGNORANT

No point in being a butt about it firebrick43. You are the one that is ignorant. My wide front will turn as sharp as it did with the narrow front. If you are not helping, shut up.

Joe, I didn't say anything at all on how sharp a tractor with a wide front turned compared to a narrow front end, I was talking about steering ease.

As to Kinghunter, My statement was in jest to your mocking statement posted first. I did not call you names, as you did me, Ignorant means "not knowing" or "lack of information". Dont mock others if you cant take the heat.

All things being equal, Ie tire size and on decently hard ground, a narrow front end will turn easier. My wide fronts actually take some steering effort to get started but my narrows can be steered completely with the steering brakes is so inclined. I highly doubt that you wides steer twice as nice compare to your narrow unless something is very wrong mechanically. Physically a wide front end has so much more friction do to the kingpins and many ball joints, all lacking in a narrow front end.
