Anybody know when the 176" wb trucks first came out? They're not listed in the 1948 Operator's Manual - 158" is the longest. As you can see Singer there is a bit of variation with these trucks.

I have a 52 F6 176" and it takes 40 acres to turn it around.

The 1949 Hildy's shows the 176". That's the earliest I have that shows it.

Here's the charts for the F-4 cab/chassis and stake bed as well as the F-5 cab/chassis and F-5 COE since I had room on the scanner. Stu

Thanks for the scans and info. So it didn't take farmers long to demand a longer box for fewer trips to/from the field.

Howdy,
I have a 55 F-600 with 9.00-20's installed and they don't rub.......But they're close!

And if it were me doing what you're doing, I'd find an F-6

Cheers,

Rick

If I were doing it again I'd have either an F-8 or an F800!!
