2N front spindle

I have what I believe to be a 1944 2N. (I-beam style radius rods, encased front distributor, 3 spd, etc. SN looks to be 9NI538bI (the funny 1"s and 6"s)but I have no idea if the engine is original). It"s a working farm tractor. I was out moving hay the other day and the LF spindle sheered off and down she went. I ordered a LF spindle but the "notch" is on the outside on the replacement and on the inside on the one that sheered. Yesterday"s Tractor made a great effort to figure it out and couldn"t. The one that sheered doesn"t have a keyway, just the "c notch", but its on the engine side of the tractor not the wheel side. Has anyone run in to this before and have a solution or a source for the correct spindle? Thanks -Dave
 
I think you have an older 9N, that C notch is where the special bolt fits to fasten the arm to spindle. The 2N has a different way of doing it. Have both but not going out in this cold to look. But the 44 2N that my Dad bought new in may of 44 has the ovel radious rod and the 41 9N has the I beam.
 
Cold can be an issue, especially when the tractor wasn't conveniently inside when it threw the tire off in the snow in MT. I wasn't the happiest guy when I went to put in the new spindle (which is supposed to fit the 9N and 2N) and found the c notch on the wrong side. If I have to, I may just need to drill the upright on the spindle.
 
The old spindle are hard to find and not made any more. The new spindles have a woodruf key and the bolt on the outside. So, unless you can find a used one, you will need the new style spindle and a new style steering arm. Those are available new or on ebay. They work better than the old style. Don't see why you couldn't have a new one on one side and the original on the other. Check down at the N Ford board. We don't bite. Lots of more experience than I have.
