Anyone know of a supplier for these two parts: 181874M1 and 181873M1on a Ferguson TO30? Or perhaps a way to restore them so the ball doesn't keep falling out of the spring loaded receiver?
 
NOT sure exactly what you have, but throttle linkage ball ends are typically pretty generic.

Go to www.mcmaster.com, and search for "quick install ball joint linkages".

Probably a million other sources on the 'net, as well.

Thanks Bob! I was actually able to make the repair. I didn't realize the end cap came off the linkage so I could attach the ball to the linkage after repairing the round ball end. I built up the ball with braze and file it round. I learned something new today...so I get to live another day!
 

Often it is just the retaining spring that has worn out . It is easily replaced with a single coil cut from a suitably sized tension spring . Remove the old one and look at it carefully , most times they break in half when you do as they are worn very thin . A pair of side cutters and 15 minutes of fiddling is all it takes .
 
Local Atwood store carry several type ends. Also I think I've seen them at Home Depot.
Probably some are for lawnmowers but will work. May help someone else since you
repaired yours.
