I would like to find the correct wide front for my stage I Super H. In my parts manual it shows the change to rear tie rods began with stage II but the salvage yard I checked with said all Super H's had rear tie rods What is the correct wide front for a 1953 Stage I Super H

I think you will find most tractors left the factory with narrow fronts. Just look at the pictures of tractors leaving the factory, more tractors will fit on railcar with narrow fronts, cost of shipping. The wide front depended on what dealer or regional distribution could get their hands on. I have seen a Farmall 300 with the old style front end, guy who owns it claims his father bought it new with that wide front. I wouldn't even believe the IH parts books.

You have the same with Super A-1 and Super MTA. Anyone would have to be damn naive to believe these tractors resulted from any great management decission. It is quite clear tractors were selling well and there was sheet metal from SA and SM and chassis for the new 100 and 400 were ready. There seemed to be at IH also a strong determination to introduce the 100, 200, 300 and 400 all new at same time and with great fanfare.

You add to all of this changes made by users in the past fifty years. It will just surprise you what will fit and where. And yes, even as simple as putting the wrong decals on tractor.

The Stage I Super H should have the "old style" wide front end, with the steering mechanism out front. I own Super H, serial # 9011J. I purchased it from the original owner (my mom's uncle) He bought it new at my grandparent's IH dealership, in 1953. It has the original wide front end. If you were adding one, I to would probably go for the newer style, just because they look better and you can buy new parts for them yet. However, in Saskatchewan where I live, the old style is very common and easy to find.

Good luck!!

i would believe the parts book with serial number breaks before i would listen to a guy with a salvage yard who will tell you what he's got to sell is the right one. if i was going to use the tractor i would use the later one because it is much improved over the one with the tie rods in the front.
