Digger 66 3,488 #1 Posted May 11, 2019 I was greasing the old girl last night and noticed I have 2 different spindles Or am I missing something ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,325 #2 Posted May 11, 2019 I think what you have is one of the heavy duty spindles that were designed for machines with heavy front end attachments like loaders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is anyone selling the heavy duty ones for the PTO side of the machine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't weld now either, and I have welded for 50 years. Can't see anything but the flame. I have about half a dozen things that need welding now. I made those back in March of 2014.

953 nut 60,405 #7 Posted May 11, 2019 The 418-C has the reinforced spindles like the ones on the right, the 418-A is like the one on the left. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you sir , so just look up replacements for a 418-C ? Are the axle diameters and dimensions the same ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm right there with you. I can stick stuff together, but it won't be pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bearings on the 418-C are heavy duty but I think they will probably be the same length spindle. The 500 series probably had the reinforced spindles too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
