I am going through the same thing with my 340 Utility. I found matching replacements for the front tie rod ends, (old ones were totally loose and worn out) at NAPA last week. I paid approx $30 each for them, complete with rubber boot and grease fitting. (Case wanted $60 each for them)NAPA's catalog has several pages of tables of tie rod ends. I had to match up thread sizes, shaft length, insertion length, etc. They made me a copy of the pages which I took home and measured and matched up to the old ones. The new ones look exactly the same.

The rear ones, because of the angle, I could not match up. Case wants $100 each for them. However fortunately mine were tight, due to the dried out lubrication, and not worn and loose. I don't think the rears get as much action as the fronts. I drilled and tapped them for zerk fittings - turns out they're oil impregnated fiber filled, and not grease filled. I'm going to try and force some heavy weight oil in there, and put them back on.

Hope this helps.
