I've got what best I can tell used to be a 9n based on a few factors but mostly it's Frankenstein at best. Ive used as a mower and yard tractor as is for 5 years I've had it. This year things were too bandaged to ignore anymore and a rough idle turned into a full on tear down of multiple areas. So fast I've been fairly successful however it came with a box of parts that previous owner bought and never got around to using.
Among these parts were replacement front and rear tie rod ends. Mistakenly I thought this should be easy compared to making a new custom wire harness and restoring the distributors guts but I didn't know one side was threaded on both ends and the other has the rear end of the drag link fused to the tube and not threaded.
1. Is this normal to have the two different link types?
2. Whas the best way to "service" the fused end?
3. Should I just replace both with one that have threaded ends?
The box had 2 front and 2 rear tire rod ends so I have 4 new ends to use. .
Any education on the theories and original configuration as well as the makeup of the fused end is greatly appreciated!
