As all Case Ingersoll owners know, the tie rods and drag links left a lot to be desired, even with the "improved" versions Case Ingersoll released over the years. Yes, the latest OEM version was much better than the multiple earlier versions. It still is not strong enough as we see many come in every year bent, broke, damaged. These should be 100 percent STRAIGHT! If not, a slight bend greatly affects steering performance and safety! Our rods are much. much stronger and bigger, made from a strong steel formula and with a larger diameter. We feel we found the best size to balance ultimate strength and life but still not too strong or too big where if serious impact or force is put on them that they still will bend before other expensive components will fail first. They need to be rugged and durable, but also need to bend before a pricey spindle or steering gear, etc, breaks. This a buy one for the life of the tractor quality rod. Where at this point, many have replaced at LEAST one but often many drag links and tie rods over the tractors life.... Besides being a performance improvement, they really look great and right at home with the rest of these beefy heavy-duty machines they are a classy perfect match, not out of place or overdone! Also, a perfect pair with our heavy-duty greaseable heim joints!
