Upgrade narrow frame front axles and rims.

[gpapa]

Looking for suggestions on upgrading the front axles and rims on a 147. Something with grease zerks for the spindle and axle is a plus.

There are already grease fittings on the axle pivot and steering knuckles.
A wide frame axle and knuckles will interchange if that's what you are looking for.

Pivot pin zero is #3 on the chart.

Thanks, I'm looking for something heavy duty aftermarket.

I doubt you will find anything aftermarket more heavy duty than what IH made! Especially anything made recently.

Dittos on that Marty
Maybe he is going to add a loader to his narrow frame.
Must be a reason for it.
I would just swap in a WF axle w/1" knuckles and be done with it.
Gives it a bit of a wider stance as well.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Easy swap, easy fix!

You could convert your front axle to trailer hubs and wheels like I did on my 100.

I'd like to see the connection made from axle to new hub/spindles. Pics please
