I was adjusting the front tire of the 190XT so there is room for a stone box on the side and I didn't expect the tie rod to be a problem. It was/is. It is STUCK. I mean stuck. I took the clamp off, bent the ears out, tapped on it pulled on it. I then even wedged a block in between the tire and tractor and used the power steering to pull on it. No good. Even the power steering didn't have enough power, even with me hitting it while the power steering was pulling.

This may be a dumb question, but have you tried turning it with a pipe wrench? The screw together, don't they?

Heat the whole thing cherry red from end to end, I don't know if it would apply in this case but I have heard recently about cooling fast? They only slide together. |

I have only had luck with these 2 ways, one is to take it off heat it red hot, have a 5 gal pail or a 15 gal drum sitting there with ice cold water in and drop the heated rod in there and shock it, it will break the bond between the two pieces, and on some things like 3rd links they will turn apart by hand, the other method is to take the tie rod off, have a nylon strap of some sort, a thick one, for both ends slip knot the nylon strap on find a tree or something substantial and another tractor, I use a 210 and have someone slowly put some torque on the tie rod as you start to heat it with a torch, and it will come right apart. DO NOT use a chain on the tie rod because it will bend it when you apply power, found that out the hard way, clean it up nice and clean with a wire wheel, smear anti seeze all over the male end and you can adjust or replace it with no prob in the future

Heat with torch to red hot then dump cold water on it. You will be amazed at how easy it comes apart.

Ive never heard of the ice water trick, I usually heat them and beat on them to try to jar them loose. Will the water make them loose strength?

All right thanks everyone; I was hoping though not to have to heat it because it's painted nice and I know that will take the paint right off. I'll bet just pulling it against a tree would do it with no or little heat.

Just did this yesterday on my D19. I heated the outside tube so that inch by inch it was heated to a red hot as far as the rod stuck in. Then I used the power steering to slide it apart. Didn't take long at all. Done many that way. Never had one I needed to cool with water. The bigger trick for me was sliding the axle out. I had never had a problem with that until yesterday. Judging by the paint, I don't think they had ever been moved. Luckily I got one side out with a jack pushing from the frame to the spindle arm and using a mall. The other side was much worse. Had to heat the axle tube with a rosebud and use a 16# mall and heavy shaft through the axle tube and also a jack between the frame and spindle arm. Three person job. Was seriously considering splitting the axle tube.

What if I were to instead further increase the length of the tie rod on the other side which is not stuck instead of breaking the left side loose which I can't seem to do.
Then I might not be able to turn as sharp one way but I never have to turn hard over anyway. I really can't break it loose. I'm thinking it's never been moved since it was new. Edited by Daniel Christensen - 17 Jun 2010 at 8:52pm |

If you have time, drill and tap a hole in the hollow part of the tube. Insert a grease zirk, Fill it with grease. A grease gun can put a lot of pressure on the end of the male part and will eventually find its way past the stuck area. dont do this if you think you may use heat later.

I already tried extending the other tie rod farther which also works it just won't turn as sharp the one way because it'll get to the end of the hydraulic. It's buried in the barn now but I'll try it and see if it's good enough when I get it out.

I got it using heat. It didn't take too much. It took the paint right off but I heated as little as possible then used the power steering to do it. Now it's good. Room for the stone boxes.
