I was told there are two of them. A narrow and a wide arch. Also was told if you wanted to change the spacing, you needed a different tie rod as they were not adjustable. I think they look neat. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

The adjustable arched front axle was available prior to 1940. Yes, there were 2 front axle lengths (38"-48" & 50"-60"). As mentioned, you needed to switch the tie rod for the corresponding spacing. The Parts Book shows 5 different tie rods available. I am sure this helped prompt the change to design a more conventional adjustable front axle which did come out starting in 1940. |
