1650 front axle and spindle variation question
 

Hey guys,
I have bot a later 1650 with 1" spindles and an earlier 1450 with 3/4" spindles... Is one preferred over the other? Also, did the axle change between the two era's??? I'm planning to sell the extra parts but want to keep the best for myself :)

Thanks!

The 1" spindles are preferred just for the Heavy duty use you can do with them, such as a FEL. The 3/4" are easier to find rims for and you can use the narrow type front rims with the 3/4" setup.

Thanks.... I think I'll just keep both sets of spindles :) You never know what the future holds!!!

At my house and my Brother's too, we have decided to NEVER throw anything away again - let the lucky beneficiaries of the estates clear out the treasure... :biggrin2:

Hey.... I consider myself lucky to have 2 Cubs (well... 1 complete and one donor) in my garage right now!!!

Couldn't agree with you more :biggrin2:

Boy I can relate to that. I have a 2084 torn apart, a snow blower torn down for repainting and a mower deck torn down. I have a two car garage and both vehicles have to sit outside. At least all the other tractors are in the shed.
