782 front axel question
 

I’m curious just picked up a 782, IH built. To me the front axle looks lighter duty than the one on my 1650. Did they change things up with this model? Thanks

782' have a red axle 1650's have a yeller axle.
The early 1650's had 3/4" diameter axle stub the wheel lives on.
The later 1650's as well as the 782's had a stronger 1" axle stub. :bigthink:

The CCC built tractors, had a black front axle. I think they are same as the IH built tractors, except for color.

Thanks
 

I appreciate it

Steering knuckle.
Easily switched to 1" from 3/4"

1650 front axle part number: 759-3270-0637

782 front axle part number: 759-3270-0637

So other than the paint slapped on them, they are the same.

Picture of your new acquisition would make us happy!
