I had to replace the front axel on my Farmall A. Got the tie-rods off with no issue. Cleaned them up, etched, primed, and painted them. Put them back together, and went to put them on the tractor after replacing the front axel.........and the one tie rod will NOT go on, as it appears the ball-joint insert is too thick. This really has me puzzled, as both rods were on the tractor.
so, either I am doing something realy stupid (very high possibility), or something is wrong. I will share that the ball-joint inserts with the flat ends are not the same thickness. I tried them on both sides with the same results. Thin one works like a champ, thick one will not provide enough clearance to fit over the ball. :roll:
Any thoughts, suggestions, or a kick in the pants to indicate what I am doing wrong?
Anyone know a source for replacement inserts, or what the thickness measurement is for the correct size?
