Description
If you’ve been fighting your Ford 5000 or 7000 when trying to steer, especially when backing up to an implement or maneuvering in tight spots, chances are your drag link ends have developed some slop. Manual steering on these older Fords requires everything to be tight and working right—when the ball joints get worn, you’ll feel it in the wheel and see it in how your front tires track.
What You’re Getting
- Right-hand threaded ball joint that screws directly into your steering assembly
- Greaseable design with a zerk fitting so you can keep it lubricated and working smooth
- Heavy-duty construction that handles the loads these bigger tractors put on steering components
- Precision threads that let you adjust toe-in and get your front end tracking straight
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Ford 5000 or 7000 series tractor was built for the long haul, and this drag link end matches that durability. Whether you’re cultivating corn, baling hay, or pushing snow, manual steering means you’re depending on mechanical linkage to control several thousand pounds of tractor. This right-hand end works with the left side to give you the precise control these workhorses were designed for.
Made to Last
The ball joint uses quality materials that resist wear even under the constant movement of steering. The greaseable design means you can pump fresh grease in regularly to keep everything moving smoothly and prevent the dry, binding feel that develops in worn steering components.
Installation Notes
This threads into the right side of your steering assembly—the threads are opposite from the left side so they tighten as you steer. When you install it, make sure to adjust your toe-in properly so both front tires track straight. A quick tip: replace both sides together if you can, since they usually wear at about the same rate.
