Can I make an axel tube for IH WF?

Posted by MM_TX on October 31, 2004 at 19:08:25 from (69.152.249.224):

I found a IH Wide Front late style with tie rods to back off a 400
for $400+$70 freight to go on my M. Before shipping they
found axel tube cracked in the back all the way across. They will
sell WF now for $300. They have a new IH tube they will send
along for $200 no less. What do you think?
I can get the pipe & bushings, cut & lay it out & take it to a
welding shop to drill & weld. (I don't have a drill press & my
welds are not professional)
Looks like a bushing welded in the axel for the pivot pin bushing
& pin to slide in and 2 bushings welded to the bottom of the
tube for the stay rod to fit in. Does anyone know if these
bushings are hardened steel or anything special?
Or should I just buy the new tube?
