The steering cylinder rod ends L40710 can not be found for my 680ck anyone know of another rod end to replace them
I don't. You may find used OEM's if you do a web search for used steering cylinders with the ends on them. There is a video on YouTube and a the poster did some machining and and fit new ones on his 680.
Ok thanks for the reply
If you are able to find the parts to make that conversion, could you post the source of them and the part numbers ?
Here is what I'm using for the the steering cylinders.
Do you know if they can be used to replace the tie rod ends also ?
Yes it would be male ends for that mine are still good but planning on changing over probably in the spring. I searched for 3 days trying to find something that would work other than what I'm doing.you would think there is a tie rod end the same .I couldn't find a cross over anywhere. At least these rod ends are easily accessible
Also using these cone spacers to get the rod end up a little I'll send a picture when done probably won't get everything I need until next week
Your project description is going to help a lot of people solve the same problem --> a worn out tie rod end that is no longer available from the tractor manufacturer. I would think Case didn't have tie rod ends made themselves for a lot of their tractors but prolly used ends that were already in production for other tractors and trucks. I wish there was some way to cross reference them.
Ustabe you'd walk in the auto parts store & the guy behind the counter would walk in the back and come out with a pair of them. Not so no more. Joe H
Yea if I would have been able to go back and look around I could have probably found something.there has to be a tie rod the same somewhere.oh well my new setup will work just as well
