Industrial radius rods on Ag tractor

My b-i-l is maybe going to buy the 4000 industrial I've been discussing. I told him that if it ends up being a lemon, we could probably get his money back by parting it out (p/s, loader, wheel weights, shuttle, etc). But now I'm wondering if industrial radius rods will fit an adjustable ag axle? Can I put these p/s components on my 850 or will I need to find Ag radius rods with the p/s connection point?

I don't think this one will end up being parted, but in case I find another industrial basket case with p/s I'd like to know ahead of time if I can use the parts on my 850. Thanks!

Hello Jim , You have to install the the Tie Rods , Radius Rods , Front Bolster and complete Front Axle on your 850 AG Tractor to use the Power Steering as a kit from a Light Duty Industrial tractor . Everything is longer to push the axle farther forward to get more lifting capacity from the newer and stronger loaders Ford was building at that time . Thanks Tony
 
Thanks for the info! Looks like this one won't be available to part out. My b-i-l bought it for snow duty.
 
Sounds like your bil got a good deal.
Just fyi the ps steering box, ps pump and hyd lines are direct replacements on your 850. With a little ingenuity the ps cylinders will also work. Mainly what you would have needed to put that system on your tractor would be the ag style ps radius rods and the ag ps tie rods.
Or as Tony said the whole kit and kaboodle - ind. axle, bolster, r rods and tie rods.
