front fenders

[Darwin Schossow]

I have a Schwartz wide front on an F-20. Has anyone ever seen fenders on a Schwartz wide front? Can you buy them, or would I need to find someone to manufacture them.

Does it have a bolt in the top of the steering shaft to clamp the steering arm it too the shaft, if it does you sure could, I am thinking it was Jeffers, or Hiniker Company, that made em, in the late 60's for other models !

They may have been made commercially at one point in time, but probably not in years
I was once given a set a front fenders that were made by the Year a round company. They were huge obnoxious things,but well made.
I eventually hauled them to the auction and got rid of them.I think they brought $50. Now I want to see pictures of that F20, especially the front end! I haven't F20 narrow tread that I have considered trying to put a wide front on. And F20 with a Swartz is definitely a rare bird.

If they were ever made, sure you can buy them, but it may take you years to find a set. Considering that rear fenders were a rare option at the time, and a wide front an even rarer option, I would expect front fenders to be so rare as to be unobtainable.

If you want them now, you can either manufacture a set for yourself or have a set made by a welding shop.

Here are the pictures you asked for.

Ah,Cool! A 'hot rod' pulling tractor. I see what you did... Put an M front bolster on. good thinkin'. I'll have to share some pics of my 'hot rod' F-12 pulling tractor.It has a 2.8L V6,13.6x26 combine tires on homemade rims,and a (lowered)Super C wide front.We call it the 'rat tractor'. LOL

I would love to see your F12. My only memory of an F12 was that if my dad had a big full load of beans on the old flair box trailer, the F12 did not have enough gumption to pull it up on to the road from out in the field.

I love it!, how does the rear end hold up to all that horse power and RPM's? I would call it Franken-tractor.

Darwin-I bought some trailer fenders from Tractor Supply Co, and fabricated brackets, for the Schwartz front end on my John Deere A. Hopefully, you can zoom in enough to see some detail. They look nice and work good.

It will run about 10 miles an hour at 4000 RPM. During a tractor pull the tires just spin, they never bite hard enough to tear something up. Tractor only weighs about 2,500 lb

Pretty Sharp!

Hey, a nice looking A, the fenders look good !!!!!

FANTASTIC, I have spent a couple days off and on looking at trailer fenders from Fleet Farm and Northern tool. I am just not smart enough to visualize how it would go together, but with your pictures that helps a lot. Thank you so much!
