Farmall M wide front rebuild

I have a 1944 Farmall M with a wide front. The tie rod ball joints are very sloppy, and it appears that there are parts missing ie. shims? There are caps with a long slot in them that look removable. Anyone know where I can find rebuild parts?
Thanks
 

If it is an original IH wide front, I'm afraid you're out of luck on the tie rods. Pretty much everything else is available though.
 
Yes you can tighten them up with those slotted "inseris".
Squirt a lot of your favorite rust buster in them, let them sit a couple of days. Then flush them out clean and blow dry. Then remove those caps. Clean up everything and install new grease. Reinstal caps til the ball joint is "snug" install the cotter key and you are good to go.
