Ball joint interchange between ford and international help??

banjodunn · Oct 24, 2013

G'day if you have a look at the sparex website they usually give you measurements of their ball joints if you find one then click on the part no and it will go to the part, then click on the make/model on the rhs of the pic and it should tell you what it will fit. You may be able to find a cheaper alternative that way

By typing in the IHC OEM part numbers, and doing as you say, it lists a bunch of ford models. Same as all state ag parts does.

Just wish I knew for sure before I order.....

Its just odd that most places like YTMAG, are charging $50+ for the joint if looked up under IHC, and $13 if pulled up under ford. Makes me wonder if there is indeed a difference??? Or if YTMAG is indeed pulling the parts from the same bin:confused3:

Was going to call them today, but got tied up. May have to give them a ring in the morning.

In the meantime, if anyone has a 1950's or 1960's ford of the models listed in my earlier link tore appart, if they could measure the spindle hole and the steering box hole and see how they stack up to my numbers?? It would be greatly appreciated.

reminds me of massey harris pony parts.. and allis G parts.

an allis G manifold is big $$ a massey harris pony manifold is cheap.

same manifold.

very similar n62 block .. innards mostly cross .. etc.

same deal with car and tractor parts. can find ford car and tractor parts that cross. tractor part is cheaper. especially points....

got caleld in to work early. had no chance to pull one yet.

No hurry. Just whenever you get to it.

I was going to call ytmag and/or All-state-ag-parts today too, but got tied up on these rims and putting other stuff together and I forgot..
