Row Crop Axle Question

I've noticed two types of adjustable row crop front axles on the 4 digit series. One type has the stay rods mounted on top of the axle and has step down (or drop down) steering arms. My 1850 has the stay arms mounted below the axle and straight steering arms. Are these differences a matter of style (early vs. late) or duty rating ( light vs. heavy ).

Still tying to learn.

I'm no expert on these matters, but we bought a new 1850 in 1966 and I seem to recall that one of the changes for that year was putting the stays underneath. I also think that was the first year that a right hand PTO lever was offered. The metal in the fenders where the lights mounted was painted green on the first 1850's. What year did they start painting it white? 1965 or 1966? I want to say 1965, but I'm not sure.

That's great info Foxtail. I did not know the early 1850s had green around the lights or when the PTO changed sides.
Much appreciated,
Myron KY

I agree Myron, I have seen 4 digit tractors that had the welded stay rods on welded on the bottom and have also seen the stay rods with bolts on the top, no idea why or what the differences might be. All of my tractors front axles are welded on the bottom, but I did help a guy replace his narrow front on a 1600 with a wide front and that axle had the bolts and was on the top.

Sorry Im no help, but I kinda wondered the same thing.

Welded? That explains it!!!! I was looking at yours, yesterday and didn't see any stay rods bolted top or bottom. That's a third type then. My 1850 has the stay rod bolted on the bottom.

77/88 w.f. was with it on top. a later version of the same model came with a inverted "u" on the right side nut. this was to avoid wearing a groove or cutting the belt on tractors equipped with belt pulley. the early 1600's and late 880's came with the stay fittings on top. later 1600's, and 1550/1650 models came with it on the bottom. i had an 880 with the newer w.f. it just looks odd. then there is the set back one.....

That makes since. The top bolted stay bars are an earlier version. Thanks,
Myron KY.
