So you're saying that it might not be a good idea to change the front axles in my pair of 996s.

This is a pretty good diagram showing the Ackermann Principal, but it is slightly incorrect, insofar as the Ackermann lines should bisect directly over the centre of the non-steered (usually rear) axle.

I find it amazing that many tractor manufacturers haven’t got it quite correct. Probably using the same axles on both 4 and the longer wheelbase 6 cylinder Models, which will cause excessive tyre wear on the front wheels.

The BMB President was famous for not having Ackerman, but it wasn't really a tractor! I also remember the fuss John Deere made over their 13 degree 4wd front steering angles so I copy more pages from my bible!

This made me nostalgic to when there were lots of makes (and choice). Pink Dania, white hydro Kodel, silver Claas, Lely/FH fold in the middle, 3 wheel Viking, Activ, twin engined Marshall, Claeys, Ransomes, etc. The electric table lift and rotary screen (hen food on the left) of a MH 726 bagger, when sample and losses were important. Before being 'combined', reaping and threshing were in different seasons and locations. Reaping was faster than flail threshing too.

Yep , we too had the MH 726 ,
the Dania and the silver Claas (all 3 were baggers) on the home farm in the 60s & 70s.

Lovely 590 there - I remember the 500 series coming out in 1976 and having a full 6 ft high poster of a 590 in my bedroom! They looked so radical after the Sirocco flexicabs and still look good now.
Has she been renovated? I see over size fronts which are a good idea.

School boy error. Reversed up to the drier with the rear window open, and had a glass explosion.

Harvest 2020 finish. Organic spring barley for a neighbour and I thought the little combine needed some work. Very itchy but good fun.
