We are replacing the spindle bushings and bottom thrust bearing. Are those parts the same as the regular wide front? We looked up the parts on this site and the measurements are the same in their kit as what we have. The only difference that I can see is the axle is solid, and hubs and wheel bearings are larger.

According to the AGCO online parts book:

Adjustable tread width 65 takes 196060M1 bushing ( 1 1/4 x 1 7/16 x 1 1/2 ). Thrust bearing listed is 18560X .

Utility front axle 65 (non-adjustable) takes 183086M1 bushing ( 1 1/2 x 1 11/16 x 1 1/2 ). Thrust bearing listed is 196167M1 .

The model 3165 utility lists even different part numbers.

Unless you know the tractor's history, it is no telling if the old parts were the correct ones .

It has been years since I replaced those on my adjustable front 65, but I'm thinking the bushings needed to be resized after installation.
