Tie Rod

It seems that any tractor I have seen so far has a worn tie rod. Is there a good fix for this, besides welding in full and redrilling it out?

I hear you John. You are talking of the wollowed out holes right? Figure if I could find a good source for 3/8;s bushings I would just drill them out. 14mm bolts help just a little bit as does using longer bolts so you have a none threaded shaft going through the bushings, then cut the extra off.

You can still get them new. I too am looking to replace mine for a 1966 Landlord. I got the part number and found them at JacksSmallEngines.com. Might want to check that out. Ryan

I have welded mine and then used a die cutter to round the weld. I also, sometimes weld a washer on the top and bottom to give me a bit more metal where the rubbing occurs.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
