front axle swap

Recommended Posts

Are there any advantages to putting a swept forward axle for a 500 series onto a 400 series tractor?  I'm pondering the question mainly because I would like to place larger tires on both the front and rear of my 418 there's not a lot of clearance now between the front wheels and the mower deck.

 

Thanks - Cod

the only real reason to put the swept front axle on would be for the extra load added by a front end loader or for the clearance of a 60" deck, other then that it would be the the cool factor     :laughing-rofl:

It also improves turning radius and steering effort.

 

Other than that, no reason to do so but cool factor like mentioned above... :handgestures-thumbupright:
