TractormanMike.mb 876 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Check a salvage yard. A few years back I was pricing parts to fix a front axle on a 1086 that was in sad shape. I was able to find a good tight one for around $1000.00 which sounds like a lot but it gets pricey when you start replacing knees and all the related parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
