202 front axle capability

Hello all
Im in the process of getting my 202 running and installing a massey ferguson model 200 loader which has the four bar linkage(very heavy loader assembly).I originally assembled this tractor from a later model 202 engine and trans combined with a early model front axle and support from a workbull 202 which had a solid cast front axle as opposed to the later model 202 fabricated front axle.
I purchased the engine and trans as salvage from my local Massey ferguson dealer and when I was loading up my salvaged gem a massey ferguson mechanic commented that the front axle of a 202 would sometimes crack from the weight of a loader. Has anyone ever experienced such a failure?
 
Not sure what the rated capacity is but I've loaded some pretty heavy things into my 202 bucket and never had issues. I would think as long as your pressure relief valve is set properly it should be able to handle everything it can lift.
 
(quoted from post at 08:20:10 04/12/18) My 204 cradle is cracked, also looking for a replacement.


The new front axle support is part number 506914M91.
Old part number 183012M95 is for the 204 tractor after serial number 342993 and up.
Old part number 183012M93 is for the 204 tractor before serial number 342993

Don't know exactly what is different between the two old part numbers, and I can't locate any of the three part numbers. You best bet will probably be a salvage yard, google, or try gbdorning dot com (they used to be a MF industrial dealer, and they helped me with some industrial parts).
