    odd bolt????

    i was talking to a friend of mine and he had said he too had noticed this one odd bolt on the same part, I guess when I say a raised bump I mean about a 1/2" or so taller than the others on the bolt face and was wondering if it was used for a stop or something and needed to be put back in a...

    were are you located? I called a salvage yard not to far from were I live and said they would buy the IH front axle for what I thought was a decent price (double what I have to give for the swartz.)

    What do I have for sure?????/Front Axle????

    Thanks for the start on the part numbers I'll do some more digging on the IH website. The tube I picked up has everything attached to bolt up (along with the plate that bolts onto the frame) but is missing spindle on one side and no steering arms or linkages (if that's a word).?..

    Deck cover on an M, Does it need a gasket or not???

    I was wondering how critical it is to have the cork gasket on the deck cover of an M. I've got mine off right now and have cleaned off the old gasket and was wondering if I could get by with a good oil resistant gasket sealer instead of buying a cover gasket. Would there be a clearance issue...
