Deere Speeco Wide Front End

Old F-14 · Apr 11, 2019

I was told this is a SpeeCo wide front end. I ended up with it during a trading blitz with a buddy.

Does anybody recognize the mounting brackets, and confirm or deny that its set up for an Deere?

I found a picture of a 60 with a speeco wide front online - looks like that is the mounting, but its too small of a picture to tell for sure. Anybody can comment?

It is a Speeco doesn't looked to be drilled for a John Deere 2 cylinder.

Always called that a Swartz, could be wrong.

Dan....the steering arms and hubs are different on a Speeco than Schwartz or Norden, the other aftermarket wfe's sold back in the day. The Speeco wfe used it's own hubs and the steering arms arms are made from thick mild steel stock. Others used JD hubs and the steering arms were cast shapes. IMHO, the Speeco is a "light duty" wfe and will not stand up under the abuse of having a front mounted loader on the tractor....broken radius bar, broken spindles and wallowed out steering arms. I consider the Schwartz to be the better of the aftermarket wfe's . All of the aftermarket wfe's look "strange" compared to the JD round tube or square tube wfe's.

If you could find a part number on the mounting bracket this chart might help
