Thanks Moe - I have had MARGINAL success reinserting the ball stud, with grease, and re-crimping the socket at the factory marks with a chisel in a 20 ton press. Marginal for 2 reasons - if you go too far, the joint will not move - game over. If you get a successful crimp, it only buys you borrowed time. IF you replace it with another OE part, remember this phrase from my old racing days - "The OE replacement parts are only as good as the parts they replace". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,983 #7 Posted May 30, 2022 You didn't say what tractor this is off of. But it's probably 40 years old. New is the way to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #8 Posted May 31, 2022 I have two NEW replacement tie rods...adjustable.... on Ebay from Stens item 285-027. These have the RUBBER 'SHIELD' on each end to keep grease in and water out. These are just as heavy-duty as the Wheelhorse originals.
