I decided to leave the axle the right way. IF I decide later I want the front raised, I'll either get taller tires, or get the outer axle tubes from a hi-clearance tractor.
slight upward sweep of the front axle is very small. With tractor level, its 1 degree upsweep on each side. Not even noticable, but when I had the front wishbone off and rolling around on the floor, it was noticable. With the outers flat on the concrete, the center part was about 1.5" off the floor when it was "upside down". With it the right way, it would rock back and forth on the center and the outer part was off the floor.
I dont think its bent. IT is built heavy and there is no signs of this tractor ever having a loader or anything. IF it was perfectly level, I dont know why they would go to the trouble to mark TOP on one side.
And when I had it upside down, the axle tubes didnt hit the stop above where they were supposed to. They hit the bottom casting, the saddle piece that houses the front pivot pin.
