Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I hope you were able to secure the frame. I have a danco loader on my 106 for over twenty years now. no axle changes, no larger hubs, no modification to bigger bearings, but I did add the steering bearing to ease the steering effort and it helped alot. I use it every summer. I put new bearings in the front wheels about 2000 when I changed the tires(replaced dry rotted original ribs). at the time the only 6 ply tires I could find was an ag tread tire so it has ag's front and rear. I have a 2a tiller mounted for counter weight.
