Help ID Ford Rear Axle & Hub Assembly

SteveD · Dec 8, 2014

This is a ford tractor axle and hub assembly but I'm not sure what it fits. It appears to be for a 800 and 900 series.

It's NOS from a dealer sale & the box it was in was crumbling apart & labeled ford tractor axle but it had no model number. I considered it was for a jubilee/8N/9N but this one has a 1 1/8 open hole with the 8-bolt pattern hub and the photos of jubilee, 8N, 9N axle hubs I've seen don't have that. It's a 30-inch shaft & the base is 7 5/8 diameter. The only markings on it are hard to read in the hub assembly S9MF M310 which I can't find anything about. Thanks.

Have no actual proof but if it has 34 splines on the end of the shaft it's probably going to fit a late 600 and 601.If it has 38 splines it's probably made for a late 800 or 801. HTH

Was there any writing on the box and if so was it Red or Blue.
The color of any writing would help to give you a clue - ie - pre 1962 or post 1962.
I could be from a 3 cylinder 2000 too as they had the press-on bearing retainer.
The 3000s had a screw-on retainer so it's not for one of those.
I don't know how many splines the 3 cyls had.

Is the number in pic 3 readable.

No colors in red or blue. Sorry, should've explained the dealer was Massey-Ferguson (who worked on Fords) and the box was from TISCO shipped via a bus line into town to the bus station for the dealer to pick-up (a bus station that closed around 1960 or so). Amazing the paper shipping sticker was legible on the crumbling box but no part number or tag on the axle. Photo 3 with the numbers on the hub read S9MF M310. Handwritten outside on box was ford tractor axle. Dealer agreed it was ford when he saw it but wasn't sure what model it fit but he thought 800 or 900. It has 34 splines. Thanks.

I can guarantee you that it does NOT fit a 8N, NAA, 600, 700, 800, 900, 701 or 901. It MAY fit a 601, 801, 2000 or 4000. It has fine splines which Ford switched to from coarse splines early in 1958 during production of the X01 series. The 801/4000 uses heavier axles than the 601/2000. I don't have any axles removed from tractors right now to tell you the differences.

Row crop tractors, 700/900/901 RC4000 prior etc have an axle
about ten inches or a foot long so I think you can rule those out.
(didn't actually measure them when I had mine out)
It doesn't have the "wings" inside the hub either if that helps
narrow it down.

34 splines
601 past serial# 49095 and 2120 per the parts book.

801 and 3 cylinders had 38 spline.
