Forward Sweep front end on 416-8

[evan4434 0]

I have a 416-8 that I want to put a 520H forward sweep front end on. Do all I need to do is buy the axle, or do I need other parts to make it fit like spindles or tire rod ends?

I beleive they were the only common tractor with 1 inch spindles, so you would need spindles and rims to match. The holes for the tie rods are 1/2 inch, so you would probably need those too.

To convert over to the swept axel you will need everything, rims/ tires, spindles, axel, tierods, and the part from the tierods to fan gear.

If your interested I have the complete setup, send me a pm or email.

whats the purpose for doing that ?

:)

yes why?,

I do know that the 520 H has a heavier front end....

The tie rod ends are a little weak on the 416...

Fitting the 60" mower deck and/or a front end loader are two good reasons for the swap too.

RS member "Dual Wheels" (Norm) did the swap on his H, but I haven't seen him on here lately.

I put the entire forward swept front end setup on my C-81. Basically bolts right in. If you get the heavier steering box also, you will have to drill two extra holes. Does wonders for stability when you have a front end loader on.

I will be doing this swap on my 416-8 very soon. I bought the axle, spindles, rims and tie rods. I also bought the gear reduction steering.

I am doing the swap because I am putting an FEL on as well.
