1456 wide front end

400Dtractorman · Mar 12, 2018

I have a 1456 farmall wide front end that has wear on the bottom of the knee. One side is worn more then the other. The last inch before the bottom is more narrow then the rest of the knee. I don't see any weld on it. Is that last inch pressed up in the knee. Trying to find someone that has the axle shaft and bearing out of the knee and knows if it is pressed or if its welded that i'm just not seeing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Ed

The thrust bearing just sets under the end of the knee. There should be a place around the bottom to cover the bearing to help keep the dirt out. Will also be a shim washer or not in there also. There is a brass bushing in the top and bottom for the spindle to turn against when the weight is on it. Those axles are the same as all the rest from a 560 through a 1466 I believe for the knee parts.
