A tie rod dropped off on the 1086 one time when I was pulling a field cultivator in the field. I had saddle tanks on the tractor at the time and couldn't see the front wheels so when the tractor started pulling down I didn't pay much attention till I figured out I couldn't steer it.
Another time I came up on a semi stopped half way around a gravel road intersection. The right tie rod had dropped off and there he sat with one wheel pointed out. I got him in the pickup with me and we went to a neighbor, who I knew and got a couple of hydraulic jacks and a few blocks. We jacked the wheel off the ground and I got the tie rod back on the ball using t he other jack to push it back on the ball. Then I wired it up in place and he was good to go. I told him to drive slow going home which was a good ten miles away. A week or so later I saw that truck parked at the local elevator and took a peek at the tie rod. It was still wired up!
Story number three; a local farmer was darned near killed when the wired up tie rod on his tractor dropped out while he was going down the road. The tractor went in the ditch and rolled on top of him breaking a bunch of his ribs. He is still with us but it was touch and go for awhile.
