Deemston Bob Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Getting ready to make a couple hour drive this weekend to pick up an 806 wide front end. I have ambitions on installing it on a 560D. However I came across a front end off of a 1456 locally. My question is will the 1456 front end work on the 560? I thought I’d get opinions here until I was able to research it more tonight.

The frames are wider for one thing , not sure the bolster would even work. and I know the rear stabilizer casting won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemston Bob Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thanks. The frame was my first thought as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R190 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 1456 is the same width but the rear mount may need redrilling of the frame rails I think it will clear the oil pan the rear mounts is the same part number between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The front will bolt right to the bolster. Certain that the rear mount will not line up right. I saw a 766 with a wet bolster that the owner had pulled the narrow front off and installed a 1456 front axle. It was in the paint booth between coats.

ksfarmdude Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Guess I was thinking 1466 sorry but looked at my specs and it is the same width 20" inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemston Bob Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thanks for all of the info. So will the rear mount on the 806 work on the 560? I wanted to take measurements but my 806 is at our other property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R190 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 They are the same part number so there is no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It will fit . The I've had several 806 fronts on 560 salvage tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane966 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 we put a wfe from a 656 under our 560 many years ago. it was a tight fit, but it turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Buy the 1456 wide front then resell it for more money to pay for a nice 666 wide front to put on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
