Front axel support 4718/4911 vs 5011?

[agvg]

Are the 4718 and 4911 identical? 5011 seems to have cast iron front axel support, the older ones have a welded, does a 5011 front axel support fit the older modells?

We are trying to find a front loader for a 4718 and its not so easy to find, and it must support power steering and the loaders for 4718 dont have the space for the power steering cylinder.

HI.
The 4712-18 were the last model wiht the velded suport, 4911 and 5011 are the same. If you want to use one of these you also nead the timing gear cover.

Thats no problem, we need a new cover as we want to retro fit power steering on it.

Can we reuse the front axel an bonnet if we get a cast iron front axel support?

The bonet and the rest off shetmetal fits, the axel i dont know.

I am 90% sure that the front axle fits, because the 5211 also has the lighter front axle with different offset rims as first used on the 4712
