Hello,
Been searching through the forums for a similar problem, but couldn't find one.
My MF 1528 (300 hard use hours) hydraulic steering cylinder has a tab on the fixed end with a tie rod end welded to it. The tie rod end bolt that goes through the hole in the bracket on the front of the front differential was either faulty or fatigued and broke off. It doesn't look like this tie rod end can be rebuilt in place.
Sooo, are the only options replacing the entire cylinder or cutting the tie rod end off and welding a new one on? I would think welding on the assembled cylinder wouldn't be good for the seals. I would probably take the cylinder apart so that the seals wouldn't be cooked.
Anybody have any help with this?
Thanks,
