340 HELP

I have a 340 with a bolt broken off of the stay rod ball cap, the ball has 3/4 of a inch left where it goes into the axle. It looks like the shaft was broken off?? The book show the ball in the axle but no part number. It must be just
pressed into the axle?? I would think it would have a nut on the end.I cant see how that setup
would hold the wishbone in position. Any help will be useful. Thank you
 
I may be wrong but I do not believe that the ball is sold seperate from the axle least not from the dealers. The likely reason they didnot use a nut to hold the ball on is that over time it would wobble or rattle off. The cap holds the ball from going side to side and being pulled downward becasue the weight and movement of the tractor on the axle pushes the wishbone up and back for the most part. As for the ball I believe it is only prssed in likely when the axle is hot and expanded hence why it is not welded. So you will have to try heating around the pin to see if the ball/pin will be able to driven out or pressed out or you may have to replace the whole main piece of the front axle.

Is there any chance that you could post a picture or two of the ball/cap you're talking about?

Tracks, I have a 340 Farmall, I believe you said yours is an international utility model, on mine that ball is part number 365 007 R1. It has a 5/8 fine thread nut holding it on. The parts book doesn't show the stay rod ball as a seperate item on those frontends but i would guess they would be the same. That ball may also have a tapered shaft like a tierod end. I have a parts manual so feel free to contact me if you have any question
