You might try partstree.com;

Lowes and Home "Cheapo" have tie rod ends. I don't know if they're the right size.

I might take a peek-a-boo at a pair. You would then need to cut a rod and thread both ends.

I make my tie rods. i get rod ends from racingrodends.com then use steel tubing that i tap with a left and right hand 3/8" fine thread tap. That said, i know not everyone has the ability to do this but it is much cheaper and they look nice too!

I used 1/2" heim joints with bushings to 3/8" at the spindles. Made that change around 1988 the tie rods were falling off about ever other time I mowed. Got tired of beating them back together to finish the yard.

I bought joints and rods from McMastercarr for about $50 shipped and made my own, and they are greasable.

^{Same here - I made these with parts from McMaster-Carr. Not difficult!}
