So the original tie rod is not adjustable to correct steering full left and right. I’ve taken the front spindle on and off several times in effort to correct. I’m thinking of making my own tie rod and installing new ends. Both ends will be right hand threads just so I can get equal left to right steering. Once set doubtful it will ever need adjusted. Am on the right track ?

have you determined what is WRONG with the original tie rod and why a new one would FIX the problem ?

I walked away for a while and came back and it lined up. I’ll take it.

the drag link is not adjusable but the right and left tie rods are ajustable unless some one has cobbled somting up over the years

Narrow front so only one tie rod. My disappointment to see the sector shaft on front spindle never had a bronze bushing. I packed with grease and drilled and added zerk fittings on steer box and front spindle. I’m not trusting oil won’t run out coating front wheels etc. I can’t be the only one to switch from oil to grease.

Dan, i think the teminology has effected the posts we gave.. The NARROW front had no "tie rods"... those go from the gear box steering arm to EACH WHEEL.. On a narrow front, there is only one rod going from the front gear box to the gear box under the gas tank. AS HUD said, ALLIS calls that a "drag link" and it was a fixed length.... and YES, the front end part wear and regular oil will leak out.. Some use corn head grease and some use tube grease as the "fix".

Yes you are correct. In my mind I was thinking an adjustable rod was needed. Always value this site for this rebuild thanks.

The drag link isnt adjustable it dosent need to be if you C dosent turn tje dame both ways someone has installed the crown gear 170 deg out. The teeth are ofset and the pedestal shaft and crown gear have timing marks on them. Many have been turned around because the gear wears more in the middle than anywhere else. Shortening the drag link to ceter it will only make it turn the lesser amount both directions. Ou cant make it turn more your up against the end of the worm gear.
