Old tie rod damaged the place on spindle. Made the hole egg shaped.
I bought a tapered ream for tie rods and cleaned the hole.
Then I made a shim out of a half inch copper coupler, one you solder on.
Cleaned up the shim with tapered ream. Used old tie rod tapper end and hammered shim in place.
Applied LT 660 to the hole and the shim. The LT 660 is like a paste. I'm guessing it has metal particles in it. Used old damaged tie rod end and gave it a good wack with 2# Hammer.
Put good end in place, tighten the nut and all is good.
I'll keep an eye on it.
Don't get your shorts in a bind. The Terramite's top speed is a fast walk. Once before the tie rod fell on and no one was killed. I couldn't go anywhere, wheel was sideways.
LT 660 is supposed to be a bushing filler and machinable.
I have other plans for LT660 after I got a 2 inch hone I'llsee if experiment works.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
