Hi All,
First post.
So, I have a 1963 Ford 2000 - 4cyl gas that gets used regularly.
I have a front loader on it that I use to move hay around for my cows.
Problem: The front axle bolster has split in several places and is causing alignment problems with my front hydraulic pump and fan shroud.
I have looked all over the internet trying to find a replacement part, but most of the bolsters I have seen all suggest they are for later model tractors than mine. They are very heavy and shipping will cost as much as some of the parts, so I'm reluctant to just take a shot in the dark on this. I do not have access to a parts manual, and cannot find a part number on the bolster. It appears to be stamped steel, not cast like some of the replacements I'm seeing.
Can any of you more experienced guys point me to the correct part for my tractor? Problem is getting worse...
