Row Crow vs Utility Axle

[Heagon]

So, what is a way to visually tell the difference in the wide front axle on a row crop (5200) vs one for a utility version? As in if I was looking around a scrapyard and the axles were lying on the ground not on a tractor. Hopefully I made the question clear
:lol:

This is a 5000 utility, with 7.50x18's.

A 5200 axle will have longer spindles. On
the utility, there's only about 5-6 of
the spindle below the axle tube. A
rowcrop axle will be closer to 10 below
the axle tube.

Thanks! Would this be the Row crop version? Kinda hard to tell from the pictures I know.

 

[Fordfarmer]

Yes, it is.

Is that one for a set back axle or has the steering linkage been installed backwards.
It's set up opposite of mine.

Interesting, whats involved from changing it to the front to rear position? Just swapping the linkage side?
