Would a narrow tread rear end from a f-20 work? Where are you located?

the bolts between a regular housing and transmission were smaller on a regular. F-20's also had a foot step and regulars did not.



where are you located McCormick 69?

When did they change the bolts and add the footstep? The early F-20s did not have the foot step but might not work.

IHC big wigs decided to use up the left over stock of Regular rear countershaft housings (without the step cast in them) on the first batch of F20s in the 1934 model year. These were assigned serial numbers TA-135000 through TA-135661.

With all due respect, a narrow rear end will not fix that problem, the steel wheels will still slip and slide on the wet wood. You need to bolt some cleats to the dovetail to give the wheels something to grip.

A narrower track will not make the tractor more stable. it will have a greater tendency to roll, and not change the tendency to flip over backward. Wet ramps are a danger for all loading of all vehicles. I use a winch to load and unload with ice or water on ramps. A come-along or using a stationary ramp to level the built in ramps are best practice. Lugs (as noted) placed on the ramps with spacing just the same as the steel wheel lugs (assumes no bands on wheels). Bands on the wheels almost always require a winch. Jim

"At all costs". Better go with rubber tires. Keep the wide stance and loose the steel wheels. You can drive it much safer in the rain. Narrower track won't make any difference in the stability.

 

[Nebraska Kirk]

Even rubber tires will slip on the wet wood of a dovetail, been there, done that, NOT FUN!! :shock: That is why cleats are a MUST, and use a winch to be extra safe in wet conditions.

Section of used conveyor belting attached or simply placed under the wheels should eliminate the tendency to slip.

buy a winch

problem solved

They made them even later than that, I own one 136325, also has a narrow tread, three speed, and open gears but an updraft carb. and manifold. Know of another 4 digits newer than mine in Ohio
