It would be great to get all this information on TigersUnited.
I also found that Lou Anderson wrote a Tech note for the CAT Shop
notes, 3rd edition. He states that this modification changed his turning
radius from stock 37' 6" to 31' 6". He also includes "We can't recommend
this change to everyone..."; 2 reasons are listed, no turning back once you
start and safety due to the parts you are changing.
Yes I would like to see your file.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Anderson Accurate Ackerman Angle kit
A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call from Buck Trippel. He wanted to
know if I knew anything about the old Lou Anderson/C.A.T. Ackerman Angle
steering kit.
Yep. I bought one, and never installed it. It was buried out back in one
of the sheds. I told him I'd dig it out whenever I was excavating something
out of that corner of that shed and keep it handy if he ever wanted to come
over and have a look at it.
Then, over the next week or so, I started seeing questions about the kit on
the list, so there must be something more than Bucky's curiosity going on
here. It was a nice clear/dry day today, so this morning I went to the shed
and dug it out. It's a good thing, too, cause-true to its heritage-the
vintage 1977 staple on the installation instructions had nearly succumbed to
the rust worms!
Anyhoo, after dinner this evening I scanned the instructions, took a couple
of photographs, pasted it all into a Word.doc, and converted the thing into
a .pdf file.
If you want a copy of the .pdf file, just let me know:

Before this topic fades to oblivion for another 10 years I'd really like to
know more of the story... and wonder if anyone else actually has one they
might consider parting with ?
A couple of gracious 'listers' have offered to send me some info by snail
mail ( thanks, guys ) but I'm still perplexed as to what it actually looks
like.
Does anyone have any pics handy that they could e-mail...??
Curious in Canada...
