Who made the X585 front axle?

[Timothy Fruit]

I operate and maintain my Dad's X585 and have been curious for a long time now as to who makes the front axle. I can't find a manufacturers label anywhere on it. Does John Deere actually make these axles? It looks alot like the 2210 and 2305 front axle.

My JD 4400 front axle is made by Dana.
Dana designs, engineers and manufactures value-added products and systems for automotive, commercial, and off-highway vehicles.

I do not know this for sure, but would Kansaki not manufacture this as well, since they do the rear transaxle?

If you were talking to me, I can just vouch for the old style front axle, I could not tell you anything about the other axles as to where they are made.

I know John Deere owns Funk transmission which makes hydro transmissions.
Funk Manufacturing Co.

I suppose it would be made by TuffTorq. They don't list it on there website though. The axle capacity is probably similar to 2305, 1,654lbs in operation.
