Wide front spindle for IHC M

FarmerHR · May 21, 2010

Does any know how IHC assembled the king pin to the wheel axle on a wide front M ?

Mine looks like the king pin was a separate piece that was assembled to the wheel spindle. It looks like the wheel spindle was machined with a thru hole and then the king pin was put into the machined hole. The king pin has a clearly visable center in the bottom. The king pin does not go quite to the bottom of the hole machined in the wheel spindle and you can see a machined surface that the king pin does not cover up. No pins, welds, or theads are evident in the joint between the two parts. Is it just a heavy press fit ? Is the king pin a cylindrical surface in the joint ?

The top of my king pin has been ruined. I would like to replace or repair the king pin.

Thank you for any information you might have.

The parts break down shows it as a one-piece assembly. Having just gone through My Schwarts wide front, I can tell you that finding some good used parts will be WAY cheaper than paying a machine shop to do much of anything for you... It also APPEARS to still be available from Case IH.

I appreciate your reply. Thank you for taking the time to try and help me.

Up to now, I have been unsuccessful in locating a used part. Am still trying. A new one is about $200.00 plus shipping.

Used wide front parts are in the same category as used rear tires. If they are still in good, useable condition, they are still on the tractor, still being used.

Or, if someone does happen to tear down a tractor with good used rear tires and/or a good used wide front, the parts do not last long on the market.

It's a matter of keeping your eyes open, and being in the right place at the right time. Much as we'd LOVE to have it, there simply isn't a "Tractor Part Wal Mart" where we can just push a cart around and load up what we need at the price we want to pay.

Yes, and if that wide front IS in good condition, it gets sold as a complete unit, NOT as individual parts.
