Yesterday I tried to put a wide front on my 560 and everything was going too smoothly. The narrow front came off with no problems, the wide front (from a 544) rolled into place and everything lined up perfectly. It was too good to be true. When I started tightening the 4 front bolts, it felt like the bolts were bottoming out. I checked the hole depth and there is plenty of room for the bolt. Is it possible that the holes are not tapped completely?

I'd agree that the threads are extremely dirty/rusty. Those holes have been directly exposed to 40 years worth of mud. There's no reason why they wouldn't be completley tapped. Don't get too worried, a 544 Farmall front end will bolt up to the bolster. I would worry about the stay rod bracket not matching up with the holes in the frame rails (although I'm 90% sure it does), and if you're planning on using the 560 hubs, you might find that they do not work, but those are just little problems.

A lot of times those old bolt holes get crude in them, I'd run a tap in them and clean them out. Also if they where open holes dirt dobbers love to fill them up spray some PB/wd in them and run a tap in them.
