The IH front axles were gone by then, the FA-57 is a large coleman which is
MUCH bigger than an RA-15.  It's bigger than an RA-30, the RA-30 is "only" a
9.5 pint axle.  RA-15 is just 6.5 pints.  That coleman makes the RA-30 even
look small.   I think you need to dig into your manual a little!   In your
defense, the coleman axles do look *very* similiar to an IH design.
Although there are some differences I noted in the pictures in this manual.
