The threads on the end of the steering cylinder on the 1086 are shot. This is a loader tractor. The cylinder rod has pulled out of the ball joint twice so I drilled a 1/4 inch hole through the threaded part of the ball joint while the cylinder rod was threaded into it and drove a double roll pin through it. This is only a temporary fix. Yesterday I had to drive the roll pin out and poke a new one in there because the first roll pin collapsed so it's obvious my temp fix is inadequate. This is a 17000 hour tractor and the cylinder is the original so it's done well but the last four years it's had this loader on it so there's a lot more pull on the ball joint than there used to be.
My question is, is there an aftermarket fix for this, a cylinder with a bigger rod or stronger attachment to the ball joint, or am I stuck with what IH has to sell me? Jim
