Steering rod

Recommended Posts

GT 14. The ball joints on the steering rod need replacing. One end is crimped on, the other screwed on. I can't find any replacements that fit. Any suggestions?

I make my own, you can go to your local hardware store and get heim joints or threaded ball joints. I use the heim joints and steel tubeing. I weld nuts to the end of the tubes and put jam nuts on the heim joints. Now I have the ability to do front adjustments to keep the tractor going straight. Here is a pic before the nuts are welded to the tube.

GRAINGERS, McMASTER-CARR, and some farm & family type stores have threaded ball joint type fittings, Some have just the ball, others have the ball with a welded in stud.....then you make your own from there.
