Can someone tell me why some of the early "500"s have different front axles? I've seen some that seem to be more straight across and some seemed to be arched. The straighter ones look like it lowers the front of the tractor. Could it have something to do with which ones have power steering?

Hello Tom,

Yes I certainly agree with your comments on the two front axles used on the "500", the early tractors were to use up inventory stock of "LA" axles, then the curved axle was designed and introduced. The parts book can not be wrong. That's the way I see it anyway.

Alan:
Thanks for your support on my response to his answer to the question. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have my parts books to refer to; I use them constantly. I have books for almost all of the letter series tractors plus quite a few implements.

I believe that the reason there are 2 different front axles is to account for the difference in height between the 30 inch rear tires and the later option 34 inch rears. There are also at least 3 different lower steering arms that were used between the different axles and power steering setups. Don

I'm going to take a stab in the dark on this.

I'd imagine the earlier ones had the arched front axles, as they were premade parts used from the LA.

(Someone smarter than me, feel free to chime in.)

I disagree; the early axle is the flat one with the "vee" in the middle according to my parts books. It's basically the same as the one used on the L even though the part number changed from L to LA.
The high arch axle is the later one.
(I'll stand by my parts books.)
