HELP! What Wide Front is on my 504? (pictures)

Don't think Schwartz even services that old tunnel mount anymore. Their (544) "picture" shows the newer separate wishbone like on a H and larger models.

However, that 504 isn't very big; doubt if it would really be an issue if the bolster bolts are kept tight.

Your front end is a standard issue "aftermarket" Schwartz and yes, the tractor was probably originally a trike because that was IH's basic, no-frills, off-the-shelf frontend.

Hugh is right tho. There is no different "ratios". They are all the same.

First picture is of an original IH and the second is like yours, a Schwartz, so that you can see the difference.

You might contact Rusty Farmall, I think he can get you any needed parts. Or, I can give you a toll free number straight to the company if you need it.

Might could even get you the replacement part numbers if ya scream loud enough. :>)

Also Kieth has it wrong, all factory wide fronts on 240, 340, 404 and 504 had the tyrods out front. Personally I don't think you would want a factory wide front for a 504, the telescoping tubes and spindles were no heavier than on 240, 340 or 404, and that is not a whole lot heavier than a Super A. I had a 504, never measured any sizes, however parked alongside my SA, the front end looked like very similar size steel, and they would break on a Super A.
