Allis C Steering Box

[Danny Helton]

I"ve got a C with a narrow fornt end and I"m wanting to put a wide fornt on it cause I"ve got a good set of culitvators for a B.My question is will a B front end work with steering box on the C or will have to find a C fornt end haven"t found neither one yet just looking for advice on which way to go.

I had a C with a B front end that the PO had cut the drag link of both front ends and welded them together so that the drag link was on a steep diagonal. It was ugly and did not have a good turning radius. The B and C steering boxes turn in opposite directions. I do have a B box available if you are interested, but I think a C WF would be the nicest way to go if you can find one. I put a NF back on my C because I personally like them better.

Remove the arm from the C steering box and roate 180 degree and you will have a B steering box.

There is a missing spline on the ones I have been around that prevents turning the arm around unless it was filed out or something. I think they maybe made them that way so the arm could only go on the shaft in the one spot where it would turn left and right equally.

It would be better to use a C or CA wide front.

I have a C with a B adjustable wide front. I cut the arm off on the steering box but left the round splined part on the box and then cut the arm off of a B box and welded it to the splined part of the C and ground it smooth and it looks factory. The arm must point up or it will steer backwards. Mine steers sharper than a B and much easier than a B. I got the Idea from Swinfords book. Allis Made a B/C prototype and I coppied it. I don't know how to post pics here but if you email me I can send pics.You use the factoru B steering arm that goes from the gearbox to the frontend and yes it's at quite an angle.
