Wide front end identification

[mazdmec1]

Broke a spindle on my 656 and had an old one for parts. The parts spindles are way beefier than the one on my 656. It is off of a 656 dieseland mine is gas. They are both the keyed and not the splined. I am guessing that it is aftermarket but it doesn't have Schwartz numbers so that is possibly ruled out. The only number I have found is on the hub and it is PC701-032. Haven't been able to find anything out about this. I did notice that the hub bolts were metric. It looks the same as the other front end that is on my 656.

The photo is not the greatest I can’t see if there are threads in that hub or not for the wheel bolts. Originally the wheel bolts would have been 9/16”-18 cap bolts with a tapered area to tighten against the rim. Definitely not metric.

Sorry my old brain is not working right. I meant to say the bolts on the dust cover are metric. The wheel bolt holes even though damaged severely are standard.
