What is a complete front axle for a tractor?

The complete front axle refers to the mechanical assembly located at the front of a four-wheel drive tractor, comprising all components necessary for transmitting power to the front wheels and steering. It notably includes the housing, side reducers, spindles, and steering system. It is a key part ensuring traction and maneuverability on challenging terrain.

Why buy a used front axle instead of a new one?

The main advantage is the cost : a used front axle is significantly cheaper than a new part, representing a substantial saving for farming operations. For older tractors, new parts are often no longer available, making used parts essential. At TMC Bejenne, used front axles are tested and certified, ensuring reliability before installation.

Which brands of front axles are available at TMC Bejenne?

The stock covers numerous models for each brand, from classic series to newer references, to meet the needs of most French farms.

How to check the condition of a front axle before purchase?

Before purchasing a used front axle , start by visually inspecting the housing for any cracks or oil leaks. Check for play in the spindles and side reducers by shaking the wheels: excessive play indicates worn bearings. Also verify steering fluidity and absence of unusual noises when rotating. A load test remains the most reliable way to confirm overall functionality.

Can a used complete front axle be delivered?

Yes, delivery of a complete front axle is possible, but as this is a large and heavy part, it is shipped via a carrier specialized in agricultural freight rather than standard parcel. TMC Bejenne arranges transport to your farm within France. Before confirming the order, check delivery times and shipping costs by calling the team directly, as these vary according to destination and model.

What maintenance is required after fitting a front axle?

After installing a complete front axle , an early axle oil change is necessary, as metal shavings from break-in can contaminate the lubricant. Regularly check oil levels and follow manufacturer recommendations, usually a SAE 90 or API GL4/GL5 type oil. Also, inspect tightening of fasteners and condition of oil seals after the first hours of real-world use.
