D Slater: that option came along near the end of 350 production or or shortly after 460 was introduced. Came from all the IlInIa guys breaking axles on mounted corn pickers. I think there may have been a few other causes as I twisted a Farmall 300 axle on a hard pull in 1st gear. It just happened to be getting excellent traction. The axle didn't twist right off immediately, we ran it for a year that way and the axle started splitting. It was one of those tractors, dealer didn't bother to dish wheels out for 72" tread, thus wheels were at the end of the axle. In those days manual said nothing, but dealers had instructions to dish wheels out on all settings over 68". The tractors were shipped with wheels dished in. 1066s had a similar warning but it was in manual, "No maximum pulls in 3 lowest gears with duals on." By the time 504 came along IH decided they may as well be all 2-3/4" axles.
