George, it is the LD front end. About 10 yrs ago I rebuilt the front end of my 8600 at a cost of about $1200 back then if I remember correctly. That was using new aftermarket spindles that cost half of OEM. Had to buy OEM steering arms and thrust bearings. Got new wheel bearings from local bearing jobber. Local guy did machine work on axle knees where the thrust bearings were wore out. Yes, it was a job. Neighbor did a similar job on a Case 2090 a few yrs ago and it was pretty spendy too. If I look at this tractor I will pay particular attention to the condition of front end.
Ford TW tractors revisited, again.....
