Tie rods for 200

Been a while since I've been on the forum. I've got a question about the inner tie rod assembly for my 200. I bought one a while back from AGCO and other than it's about an inch shorter than original it works. Now I ordered one for the other side and it shows up with the tube being too big to get it to clamp down even with the factory clamp and an added ubolt. And the nut and threads on the tie rod end is metric. I sent it back to the dealer and they ordered another and got the same thing again. Anyone else run into this? The one I got from AGCO earlier is a little shorter but fits. After markets is even shorter when looking at specs and some look the same as the new AGCO ones with a blue oring holding the rubber boot in place.

Doesn't anyone make one like the original with the length from center of joint to tube end being around 18-1/2"? I may just build my own.

What part number did you order. There’s two different sets.

Mike, the 662 and 661 are the ones I got, I think. I'd have to look at the boxes. I got both inner and outer rods.

I bought some for my XT. They were sent with a new coarse threaded bolt for the clamp. The coarse threaded bolt would not clamp tight enough to lock the inner and outer tubes together. I do not remember where I got them. I still had the original bolts with the large nut and fine threads so I reused them and it has been OK since then. 

Howdy Lonn!!
