Looking for a good used or NOS brake rod for a Series 4 D17, part number 237331, only need one, but might take a couple if someone has them. Not sure how this one got broken, but the hook end is missing on the left one,  .

| I broke one several years ago. You might want to look, my memory is bad, I think the left and right were different. But please check that out. Like I said memory is like burnt toast. |

| I wondered if they were different as well, checked my parts book, and according to that, they are the same. |

| The hook on the end is where they usually did break. You can cut it off a little run a 3/8" die up on the remaining rod 2 inches and get a 3/8" threaded yoke to screw on in place of the broken hook. |

| The way that the Dr. describes is better, stronger, and provides an easier way to adjust the brake. |

Many thanks for all the replies, Gentlemen! I hadn't checked with AGCO when I put this post up, was kind of a spur of the moment decision, and had originally thought of fixing it like the Good Doctor suggested. I thought I'd check with you all on here before proceeding with that. I did buy a 3/8" threaded hardware hook and threaded coupler, and that's how I'll go for now. I can order a new rod if this doesn't work. Thanks again, everyone!
