I have a few questions about widefronts that they put on the 560, 656 and etc.

-I was wondering if the Schwartz and the Noorden when pretty similar as for as the axle tube goes. I have a Noorden on my 656 and I do not like how they have the spindle shafts setup for the steering arm to attach to them. On mine they used a key style shaft and arm. On the Schwartz that i have seen they use a spline shaft and arm (which would be alot stronger in my opinion). Thus being said, I was wondering if I could take a Schwartz spindle shaft with the splines and the splined steering arm and put it on my Noorden, look to be around the same size tube from seeing pictures.

-I was also wondering about the stock IH wide front axles compared to the Schwartz. They both use a splined spindle shaft and steering arm. I was wondering if the size of the 2 is the same, again they look pretty close to being the same in pictures, other then the Schwartz steering arm seems to be a little different in shape.

-With all this being said, I want to switch my Noorden spindle shaft and steering arm with either Schwartz or stock IH ones. Mine are getting sloppy because of poor design using just using a half moon key for the steering arm and shaft.....

I like the IH earlier (keyed) front ends. Every splined one I've ever seen had some play in it. I have a "1965" 656 with a keyed front end and (except for the tie rod ends) is just as tight as it was new.If you do have one that gets loose, you can custom grind down a larger key so it will fit tight again rather than spend money bigger more expensive parts.

Have you given any thought to just buying a brand new Schwartz, and then selling the Norden?
The difference in price is probably about what it would cost to do the conversion, and would be a whole lot less work. Just a thought.
