Hello
I have purchased a 1952 model TE20 and being a novice at repairs I would like to know if someone could tell me how to disconnect the front and rear drag link ends please. I want to either replace the rubber grease cups or if necessary the entire drag links on both sides. The rubber is split and does not hold the grease. Any suggestions or how to's would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance to anyone who answers.

1952 TE20? Must be a TEA20?

Manual says:

"To detach, remove the nuts and washers and free the taper pins by tapping the spindle arm and steering drop arm with a hide-faced hammer....."

I've never yet been able to remove as per the manual!

As Jerry says, buy a Tie Rod End Removing Tool, costs around $8 and looks like a two tine fork. Soak well with penetrating fluid.

The rod ends are removed by unscrewing the nut then using a tool that looks like a two pronged fork with wedge shaped tines. You place this tool between the head of the link end and the fitting that it goes through and rap it with a hammer. That loosens the tapered bolt and you can get it out of the fitting. Count the number of turns as you unscrew it from the shaft. Replacement is the reverse except you don"t have to drive the new ones on, usually. Screw the new part in the same number of turns that you counted when you removed the old one.
I have seen replacment boots for sale on ebay and you might find them in the Tractor Parts section of this forum.
