Description

When your tractor starts pulling to one side or the steering feels loose and wandering, there’s a good chance your tie rod tube is worn out. This 18-inch tube connects your tie rod ends and keeps your front wheels tracking straight down the row. A bent or worn tube means sloppy steering and uneven tire wear—problems that’ll cost you time and money in the field.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined 18-inch tube with .950-inch inner diameter for exact fit
Slotted design on one end and threaded on the other for proper tie rod end attachment
Heavy-duty construction that handles the stress of field work and road travel
Direct replacement for worn or damaged original equipment

Built for Real Farm Work

This tube fits a wide range of International Harvester tractors from the smaller 544 and 656 utility models up through the big 1586 and 5488 four-wheel drives. Whether you’re cultivating corn, pulling a disk, or hauling grain, proper steering control keeps you productive and safe.

Made to Last

Farming puts serious stress on steering components, especially when you’re working rough ground or making tight turns with heavy implements. This tube is built with the same specifications as your original equipment and handles the daily punishment of real farm work.

Installation Notes

This tube works with standard tie rod ends—not the drilled-style TRW parts. When you’re replacing it, it’s a good time to check your tie rod ends and steering box for wear while everything’s apart.
