MF50 and 65 Front Axle-Spindles vs MF Industrial Tractor

How similar or different were the front axles and spindles for the Massey Ferguson 50 and 65 tractors as compared to the industrial MFs of the day with front end loaders. We have this new to us MF50 with MF100 (Davis) loader on the farm now and I'm curious as to how much abuse (not that I will abuse it) the loader will give the front axle-spindles. I know the front axle is much more stout (IMHO) compared to a TO20 and Ford 3000 we have on the farm.

Is the front axle-spindle arrangement, being a straight axle - and right beefy, the same that would have been used on a MF industrial tractor of the day?

Thanks!
Bill
 
(quoted from post at 10:49:45 11/30/21) The industrial Masseys of that era had non-adjustable axles that I believe were heavier than the farm models.

Bob is correct. The industrial models have a much thicker axle to support the weight of the loader and the payload. I'm unsure if the spindles are the same or not, but I'd be more worried about stressing the axle and steering components.
