Prater 76 #1 Posted November 20, 2009 Just curious if all the 520 Front Axles have the swept forward design and 1" spindles? Reason I ask is that I won the front axle and spindles off a 520H and they are not swept forward and the spindles ar 3/4". i just want to be sure before I contact the seller about the issue. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,139 #2 Posted November 20, 2009 They came both ways. I think the early 520's had the regular front axle. Mike...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,071 #3 Posted November 20, 2009 Looks like you will be getting the earlier ones. The swept front usually had the heavier duty 1" axles. Will only be able to go up to a 48" deck with the regular and with the swept front it can accomodate a 60" deck. Also with the swept front you will need an extension kit for the snow plow. They are still out there......just getting tougher to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prater 76 #7 Posted November 20, 2009 Prefernece for my puller project that I am doing. So basically I have the same axle thats already under my 416... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #8 Posted November 20, 2009 Okay but why would you want to use a swept axle on the front ? Duane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 76 #9 Posted November 20, 2009 Duane, Mostly I am just playing around with the parts that I have. I was going to use it on a short frame tractor and sweep the wheels forward with the axle flipped over to give it a hot rod look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,072 #10 Posted November 21, 2009 I don't think you can turn those axels over to use upside down because the spindles will be angled the wrong direction. I have an extra front axel from a 401 that has that dropped look you're going for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
