Chris Thanks for the helpful info. But I am still not sure about the rear end. John what I mean by tapered down axles is The shaft is larger on the end that goes into the rear end. just after the shaft comes out of the housing to the outside of the seal the shaft tapers down to fit the hubs. All of the 1850's I have seen have the short axles &amp; are the same size from the hub to the bull gear like the ones that would be on the  2-85 WHITE, 1750,&amp; 1755 oliver. As you can see in the picture the hubs are maid to go on the outside of center casting of the wheel.Like Those on a 2-105 WHITE,1950-T,1855,&amp; 1955 OLIVER.Oh &amp; Chris I would be up to the haul to MI but I think Joe &amp; the 1850 FWA are like a marige (till death dose them part) Thanks again Steve
