856 compatible front axle with spindles and tie rod

Any plans to be up near me any time soon?  I’ll be cruising through in 6 or 7 weeks to Uncle Jim’s too…

Or.... look into doing a machine shop fix, open the spindle bore for bronze bushings, with a thrust washer below.

Fix the pivot bore first, done a few.....

Planning to be in South Bend mid-Oct, how far is that?

Looks like it’s already had a re-bore with bronze bushings.  On the left side the bottom bushing failed completely and the spindle is really ground down.  I’ll get a thread started pretty quick here.  I just made enough space I. The shop to start working on it.

Hour and a half south of me, ish.  

i drive semi and may be able to play transport. 

Replace the soft bronze bushings with the ones from McMaster (or wherever you can get them) the sintered iron bronze bushings. Those are all I use -  three tractors, no issues...... And do continue to grease them.

i have one from my 855. the tie rods are a little tired but the axle is tight. im in crystal lake il
