I have been reading this thread & not to hijack it but what I did for my BX24 when the boots got torn from brush, was I ordered two universal tie rod boots part #40193, also uses Massey part# 1885486M1. These boots sell for about $3 to $4 at most tractor supplies, online, & EBAY. TSC has these boots in a kit, but you have to buy 6 boots, 4 of which are not compatible & the kit is $20. Note these boots are not an exact replacement but the difference is so slight it is hard to see. They fit my BX24 perfectly & I was able to reuse the original metal retaining rings. Then so as not to have to do this again I used TECHMAN痴 idea of using a piece of 2 1/2in. nylon hydraulic hose covering held on with tie wraps to cover the boots. The nylon cover material can be purchased at any hydraulic hose place by the foot. Mine was about $8 for a 1 ft. piece. I used a heat gun to seal the ends to stop fraying & a soldering iron to punch holes for the tie wraps.
