Tie rods for 4600

On our 4600, there is some kind of tube that connects the tie rods in front. Not the drag link, but the actual tie rods going left to right in front. I cannot seem to find it anywhere in a search online. Does anyone know what it is?
 
A 4600 only has one drag link on the left side, which connects the sector arm on the steering column with the left front spindle arm. That tube/rod that you're asking about connects the left side spindle arm to the right side spindle arm so that the right wheel turns along with the left wheel when you steer. If that tube/rod wasn't there the right front wheel would become a caster and not do much good in helping to steer the tractor.
 
So, is this the correct part for the connecting tube for behind the axle that connects both front wheels to each other?

And these are what we need for that tube?

As for the drag link that connects the pitman arm to the front:

I have seen a couple different drag link front ends, guess I will have to measure ours once we get it taken apart...
 
Took pics of our drag link, and the connecting tube/tie rods that connect both wheels.

We have no idea what happened to the connecting tube...it's warped and doesn't look anything like what a new one does. There's welding on it in the center...
