Case 580K ball joint thread size

nilzlofgren · 2017-11-12 22:25

This is the articulation end, that screws into the steering rod. It actually unscrewed itself while I was using the machine. The thread at the end of the stud is boogered up, and I want to fix it so I can screw it back in. I have a nut that is 7/8-14 thread size. It tried to screw it on, and it went on partially, but I didn’t want to force it. Anybody know the correct thread pitch of this? Thanks. John.

    I'm pretty sure it's a 22mm

    A pitch gauge will confirm

    It is 22mm with a 1.5mm thread pitch. Thanks everyone.
