Wow, Neat picture. could someoe comment on the steering of that prototype? Do I see steering rods going to the front axle? Or was it just clutches and brakes like normal?
Thanks for posting

I have a ten that was converted at old cat dealership , to rubber tires.
It has 24 inch tires on the rear and i6 inch on the front, used a steering sector and linkage to steer, the brakes were reconstructed to cable control and release steer clutch and then if apllied further apply the brake to each side seperately, I brought this tractor from the man that used it for many years and helped to reconstruct it, He said it worked really well and would pull two 14 inch plows easily. It is complete and would be easy to restore
questions or comments call Ron Meeder 716-761-6447.
any pics of your wheeled ten???
Thanks, -R4catkid
I will locate some from when we purchased this tractor, It has been a while ,so give me a day or so. The man said they built it at the dealership during the war because of shortages or steel and they wanted a faster way to get things done He also said it worked well I may restore it on wheels someday.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
