homemade tie rods - wheel horse c-175

[wheeliepower 141]

Hi,

 

today I built selfmade tie rods for my tractor.  I used cromo steel iron bars.

 

advantage: Use of tie rod ends =>  thus optimal attitude of the trace and favorable exchange of parts in case of defect.

 

Unfortunately, the cutting head did not fit on my German cutting tool. That's why I had to turn the cutting head with a pincer, but it was okay ;-)

 

Now everything is grown again and works great.

 I did the same on my C-121.(The Black Horse).  Only I used a pair of worn out tie rods and altered to take adjustable track rod ends. A very worth while modification.

I fix my tie rods like that back around 1990 have not had any more trouble with them.
