Description
If you’ve noticed your steering feeling sloppy or heard clunking sounds when turning into the field, this track rod end joint might be just what you need. When your steering gets sloppy or you hear clunking sounds turning into the field, worn track rod ends are often the culprit. This rear track rod end connects your steering box to the drag link, translating every turn of your steering wheel into tire movement. This female-threaded end with its 40mm overall length is a critical steering component that keeps your tractor going where you point it.
What You’re Getting
- Female threaded design (12″ UNF) that screws directly into place
- Compact 40mm overall length fits tight spaces in your steering linkage
- Durable construction that handles the constant stress of steering loads
- The forged steel body resists bending under heavy steering loads, while the hardened ball and socket maintain precise fit despite constant movement. The tapered shank locks solidly into your steering arm, preventing the dangerous looseness that comes with worn parts.
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Massey Ferguson 35, 35X, or 135 does it all – from mowing pastures to cultivating row crops, running a loader, or pulling wagons to market. These versatile tractors are workhorses on small to medium farms, and precise steering is essential whether you’re following furrows or navigating tight barn doors. The 200 series models like the 230 and 240 pack more power for heavier implements, making good steering even more critical. When track rod ends wear out, you’ll notice play in the steering wheel, wandering on the road, or difficulty holding a straight line in the field.
Made to Last
This isn’t a car part dressed up for tractor use – it’s purpose-built for the punishment of farm work. The specially designed female threading prevents loosening during operation, while the hardened joint components resist wear from the constant movement and loads that come with farm work. Regular greasing flushes out dirt and moisture that would otherwise grind away at the joint.
Good to Know
Always replace track rod ends in pairs – if one’s worn out, the other isn’t far behind. Before removing the old end, measure its position or count the threads showing so you can set the new one close to the same spot. Use a proper ball joint separator to remove the old end; hammering on the steering arm can damage it. When installing, make sure the taper is clean and seats fully – a loose taper will work its way out quickly.
