Here are a couple of sources. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/toro-wheel-horse-tie-rod-78-2900-78-290001-longer-length-with-replaceable-ends-with-nuts/ http://www.psep.biz/store/toro_mower_tie_rod.htm I have taken some of mine and cut the old ends off, turn the outer ends of them down to 3/8", threaded them to 3/8 -24, and installed replaceable tie rod ends on them. If you have the ability or know a machine shop that will do it for you this can be a low budget option. You can pick up tie rod ends for around $10 to $15 a pair. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
