Working on a 700 wagon. One of the front spindles should really be replaced, Is there any source of parts for them? Searching says they were made by electric wheel co, goggle tells me everything except what i want to know. [source of parts] Anyone got any good ideas? thanks

As I recall, Electric Wheel was quite prominent. Earlier a division of Firestone, more recently a division of Titan.
There are parts warehouses which buy up and stock new, old stock parts. Farm equipment dealers have access to them. And I think I recall being able to access one on line to check stock as long as I had a part number.
I don't know if you can come up with a part number at Agco parts? Or if you can find a parts person willing to help. And I don't know if your best chance is through Titan or Agco. While these are a few ideas, maybe someone will come up with the good ideas you are looking for.

What is wrong with the spindle? Can it be repaired?

The steering arm had broken loose and been rewelded not in the correct position. So much reinforcing welded on hard to cut off and reweld. If i can;t locate one I think I'll make a new arm and weld it in the correct position on top of the one that wrong. Will try Bob's suggestion first.
