My good friend jumped on a sweet deal at the local scrap yard: a '71 sears garden tractor for $60. No attachments, but it's in great shape. A new coil and carb adjustment and it runs great! But, the tie rod fell apart on one end and it's a discontinued part.

I haven't looked at it real close yet, but I suspect the ends can be replaced.

Anyone have a source for mini tie rod ends?
