The challenges never end here in central Indiana. Bought some "new" front axle braces on ebay for the Super 55. The ones I took off were lightweight and hollow. One was bent, busted, and had a very poor repair job done on it. The other one wasn't too bad. The ones I bought are very heavy solid steel. I thought that was great until today. Trying to test fit the front end together (engine is out) today and they don't seem to fit. It looks they are about 1/2 to 1 inch longer than the old ones. The bend at the end that fastens to the tractor frame is not as tight as the old ones. I don't know if my old ones were bent tighter from the factory or account abuse. It looks like if these "new" ones were bent tighter they would fit. I am not above doing that but we are talking about 1 3/4" of solid steel. Gonna take a lot of heat and moxy to bend these puppies. I guess I could cut a short section out and weld them back together also. I know there were at least two different front axles on these tractors. Mine is the adjustable agricultural axle. Were there different braces for different axles? How about the 550's? Were they the same or different? Dad's 550 is 15 miles away. I hate to make a special trip just to look at that. I don't know exactly what these came off of. Just like to know some facts before I start getting creative.

I don't think my front axle is bent either. I don't think that axle would bend that much without it breaking or something else breaking first.

You probably have a set for the "industrial" front axle which was much more robust but not adjustable for track width.

Those are the stay rods. They should be interchangable. There are some slight modifications though. It is listed in the shop manual. Email me at [email protected] if you want a copy of the manual page.
