Case 70 series front axel

[a dalton]

I have an 870 case that I broke the front axel in my question is do all 70 series case front ends have the same bolt pattern at the
block. I can get a 1370 front end that looks heavier than my 870 but didn't know if it would bolt up factory. Thanks for all of the
help

I have seen that done on a couple tractors and does require some fabrication and welding, along with hydraulic plumbing. No reason to do it unless you need a heavy axle for a large loader. I believe any axle from a 7-1070 will bolt up and look much better. Rod.
