Do the front axle assemblies from an E27 N fit ...

Welcome Terry, :beer: Thanks Matt :beer: Thanks also Pavel, 8) I know when I took the tractor for a test drive all the greasable areas looked VERY dry and the owner said he'd had it out in the weather for at least 5 years so I'm going to go over everything that's got a nipple on it and anything tha...
