Power steering required for wide front?

[B n 60]

Also, is power steering required to turn a narrow front into a wide?

 

[Stephen Atkins]

No

We grew up with wide front and narrow front and never had power steering on either one. And that included loader tractors.

A wide front was on my 60 and it does not have power steering.

Although if you have a wide front and a loader, you"ll wish you had power steering.

No doubt the loader would add a considerable ammount of difficulty to the steering, the wide front did turn eaiser than the narrow. I had the round tube wide and it took a huge radius to turn the thing. The narrow went back underneath the tractor for just that reason.

No, but a bigger 4 spoke steering wheel was used on non PS tractors to make the job a little easier.

60 is a three spoke non powersteering wheel.

I have a 730 diesel with wide front and no power steering. Also a 730 All Fuel with wide front and no power steering. Wouldn't want to hang a loader on either without it. Otherwise they turn harder but are manageable.

As long as you have a convertable frt. pedestal it will bolt right on.
