Yesterday the center steering arm on my tractor broke in half. What shoud I do ? Search for replacement part or have it welded by a machine shop ?

My brother and I just completed the repair. He did a good job on the welding and since we were working on the center steering arm we took time to realign the front wheels. We had to wrestle with the tie rods, these things certainly can be stiff. Now all is fine and I thank everyone who replied to my questionning.

I agree, unless your time is not worth anything, I'd buy a new one as the one's I've seen are less than $100.

I'd weld it. V it out really deep, then just fill it in with a bunch of passes with Ni-cad rod. Chip & wire brush after every weld, and just take your time. I did a similar weld about 7-8 years ago on the hitch clevis of our JD disk because it broke clean off. It's still holding just fine.

If you can, put it in some DRY sand imediately after welding so it cools slowly.

Pull the shaft off and take it to a machine shop.They can weld and true up the shaft,if it is a good shop. Good Luck....
