Hi In trouble again; I pulled the connecting tube loose from the steering arm to the pitman arm to split the tractor for clutch replacement. I then turned the tie rod wanting to replace it with new because I was forced to separate it with a pickle fork while hammering on the socket joint.
It is locked in a position where it will no longer seat in the steering arm. Part of the problem is it has not been moved in forty something years; I let it soak with PB Blaster and it doesn't want to go either way.
I cannot figure out if the hex end is welded to the tube or not. I assumed it was the adjustment for tie rod length. Does anyone want to share how this should be turned?
