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!

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
