I am looking for part #s or a source for the rubber bushings on the steering link connecting the steering box arm and the arm off the tricycle front, 1 on each end, my manuals show this only as single part and I can not find a description with the parts listed on sites ie: C tie rod end bushings which I think may be correct but I don't have part number to confirm. Anybody know if these are correct parts? I took apart figuring somebody would reproduce these but a little more difficult to source than I expected. Thanks for your help. New to forum, former tractor plant employee, and my brother and I bought as project and for work on land in northern WI for scarifying grass to get more oak plantings and for pulling wagon for cutting wood. Been enjoyable so far and look forward to contributing where I can.

Go to one of the vendors on this web site. I purchase some for my CA. They know what you need.

I don't think you can buy the rubber for the tie rod ends. You have to buy new weld on ends and have the old ones cut off. Its been discussed here recently.

Got the parts I ordered, took a chance that the tie rod end rubber was the part I was looking for and it may be but the hard part seems to be getting the ball end out of the arms. Heating up with torch appears to be next. Anybody have these off or am I chasing an impossibility? Cutting ends off and welding on new seems odd but not impossible. Does type of steering box matter? Best way to determine which one you have? Did not think this would be an issue as most rubber parts deteriorate fairly quickly and it is a little surprising they were not replaced at some point in their life. Thanks for help by the way, parts I ordered are same as suggested. I am heading to a bone yard this weekend to see if I can find the correct parts or get whole assembly. Have work planned soon.

You need a tie rod remover often called a pickle fork. Its a wedge like tool that you drive between the tie rod end and drag link. Don't think the gearbox makes a difference.

Rather than cut the ends off and welding on new ones, I just used a torch to burn out the old rubber, remounted the draglink and squirted 3M urethane rubber into the cavity where the rubber bushing was. Three years later, and it is still going strong.

I heated the arms and they came out ok. Rubber boots are available from several vendors on here.

general old mechanics trick-hold a heavy hammer on one side of the arm right where the tie rod end goes thru and use another heavy hammer and hit the other side of the arm. do this after the nut is loose. a few good licks and the tie rod end will usually come loose. no heat needed
