Hi, the linkage from the steering box is called the PITMAN ARM, and the rod that connects that arm to the STEERING ARM is called the DRAG LINK, the long rod that goes between the left and right steering arms is called the TIE ROD. A machine shop would do what the other person said, cut the ends off and weld on new ones that can be bought today, a heavy truck, around 2-4 ton would have a larger drag link and could be shortened, and if the ball joint ends could be fitted, or drilled out, would make a very good adaptation....Phil H

I don.t remember what it's called but, I do remember sometime ago while I was mechanicing,someone tried to sell us a tie rod and ball joint repair. It shot some plastic or silicon into the ball socket and took out all the play. I wouldn"t trust it on the road but on a tractor is different. I can't find the source now. Has anyone heard of this, from about 20-25 years ago? I'm sure it would work.

I got two new tie rod ends for my 1958 Ford Skyliner. I cut off the balls on the Allist shaft and drilled 1/2" holes (I think) in the ends to accept the Ford ball joints and welded them in at the right length and orientation. Total elimination of slop from that source! I believe that most Ford ball joints will work but I know those from the 50's do. This works and looks pretty good after painting but it is not the same as original. This is the working tractor solution.

that is original. sometimes you see them on e-bay for sale, or look at one of the local sellers at this site or allischalmers dot com.
