Track Rod End Ball Joint for Same Tractor Row Crop, Centauro, Leopard & Panther Series

Description

When your steering starts feeling loose or you’re fighting the wheel to keep straight down the furrow, it’s probably time to look at your track rod ends. This component provides the articulating connection between the steering rack and front wheels, enabling smooth steering response and maintaining proper wheel alignment during operation. A worn track rod end doesn’t just make your tractor harder to steer—it can be downright dangerous when you’re working around ditches or on slopes.

What You’re Getting

• Tapered design (20-24mm) that locks securely into your steering knuckle for precise control
• Heavy-duty steel ball joint construction built for constant articulation under load
• Grease fitting for periodic lubrication to extend service life and keep things moving smoothly
• Direct OEM replacement that fits without modifications or adapters

Built for Real Farm Work

This track rod end is designed for Same tractors across their working lineup—from the Row Crop 80 utility tractor to the bigger Leopard and Panther series machines that handle your heavy field work. Whether you’re cultivating with a Centauro 70, running a loader on a Mercury 85, or pulling wide implements with a Jaguar 100, precise steering control is what keeps you productive and safe.

Made to Last

The robust construction withstands the constant articulation and loading encountered during field operations, transport, and loader work while maintaining precise steering geometry essential for accurate implement operation. The tapered connection prevents the loosening that comes with vibration and heavy use, while the sealed ball joint keeps dirt and moisture from grinding away at the critical surfaces.

Good to Know

Always replace track rod ends in pairs—if one’s worn out, the other isn’t far behind. Before removing the old end, measure its position or count the threads showing so you can set the new one close to the same spot. Use a proper ball joint separator to avoid damaging your steering arms, and don’t forget to check your toe-in setting after installation to prevent premature wear.
