 Topic: B front end
Posted: 23 May 2010 at 8:44pm |
I don't know what it's called but it's bent. Does anyone have one I can buy or is this something I can straighten? I don't think it's supposed to be straight so I really don't have anything to go by if I try to bend it back.

I got one, but it is in PA and you are in TX.
My early B adjustable axle just got here yesterday, but it left Texas last fall. (Thanks to Dave, Ken, Paul and Brett)
Probably you can find one cheaper and closer than if you were paying shipping on the one I have.

It shouldn't be to hard to straighten. Would it originally have an upward cure to the middle of it to kinda follow the arch of the axle?

Here is one that is straight. It's called a drag link. http://vintagetractors.com/acbcwheels.html

Ed, I think I have one around here too, but I am in WI. I don't know how good the tie rod ends are. If you're interested, send me a PM and I can send you some pictures of it.

Hey Charlie, his drag link looks ok, it's his tie rod that seems to have obtained some new compound curves, eh? Wonder what got hit, and how it looks? Glenn

i dont think my tie rods are quite straight ? seems like there is a 2 inch bow in the center to drop under the oil pan...?? maybe? too late to look tonight. I would think you could do a half way decent job with a small table press. I have seen worse in drag links and arms.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
