After 3 years I've finally decided to renew my search for this part and have gone all over the world looking with no luck. The part number comes up but no one has it. I did find on another tractor forum that mine can be repaired with Ford Explorer Ball Joint from NAPA part #10379. I'll update this post with either sucess or failure.
This repair was completed using FORD Exployer Upper Ball Joint 10379 from NAPA. Jet Tool in Albion PA. They milled out the old joint then bored to press fit for the replacement and made a spacer to cover the gap in the stem to the arm. All of this was done for $207.00 Machine is all back together and I didn't even have to align the front end. They were that accurate. I've written it in the service manual so whoever get this machine next will know what to do. LOL
