The style with the tyrods out front is the style used on the early year tractors. Later, IH changed the wide front by putting the tyrods behind. That was a big improvment because with the tyrods in the front, if you bumped into something, the tyrod could break and you could not steer. That's why most of those tyrods that go in the front are welded. That wide front looks factory, but it would depend on the year. What is the year?

jonnny2006, Looks like an old style wide front, but the tie rods arms are turned around so the the tie rod assembly would be in the rear. Someone, somewhere, who mounted this front end didn't know what he was doing as far as setting it up like factory.
Also look very closely, the Bolster is mounted up under the front tooo far forward. So the big mounting plate is gone. The Bolster is turned around too so it is also in the wrong position also.
That is why the tie rods face back. It IS an old style on closer look. Just all turned around. Is it right No! Will it work, Well I guess.
Later,
John A.

NEAT! I like how it sticks out like that. Reminds me of a hotrod I did once. You hang the spring and axle out front, the style is/was called a "suicide front".
