Description
When your left front axle housing starts showing cracks, excessive wear, or damage from years of field work, this is the replacement part that gets you back to business. Case IH 43, 44, 45, 56, 85, and 95 Series tractors excel in row-crop farming, livestock operations, and versatile field work from cultivation to harvest, and that front axle housing takes a beating from loader work, rough terrain, and the constant stresses of turning with heavy implements attached.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cast housing designed specifically for ZF APL335 axle assemblies
- Late-type design that won’t fit early axle configurations – verify your axle type before ordering
- Heavy-duty construction that handles the loads and stresses of 4WD operation
- Direct left-hand replacement that restores proper geometry and function
- Factory-quality casting that matches original specifications exactly
Built for Real Farm Work
This housing fits the ZF APL335 front axle system found on a wide range of Case IH tractors from the smaller 43 and 44 series utility models up through the heavy-duty 95 series machines. Whether you’re running a 485 with a loader, pulling heavy tillage with an 885, or working row crops with a 695, this axle housing is engineered to handle the demanding conditions these tractors face every day.
Made to Last
These MFWD systems provide enhanced traction and improved steering control essential for operating heavy implements, working on slopes, and maintaining productivity in challenging field conditions such as wet soil or loose terrain. This housing is cast from high-strength material that resists cracking and distortion under the heavy loads and shock forces common in agricultural work.
Installation Notes
This is a major repair that requires significant disassembly of the front axle components. You’ll need to drain the front differential, remove the axle shaft, and transfer components from your old housing. Since this is the late-type design, double-check that your tractor has the APL335 axle before ordering – early and late types aren’t interchangeable. Consider replacing seals and bearings while you’ve got everything apart.
