This ball joint connects moving parts in the steering or control linkage of select lawn tractors and snow blowers. It has 3/8-24 male and female right-hand threads. The male threaded end is shorter than a standard joint. Use the complete equipment model and serial number to guarantee the proper fit. Replace the joint if it is loose, bent, rusted, or hard to move. Before removal, measure the linkage or count the exposed threads so the new joint can be installed in the same position.

PERFECTION
I needed a part for an 80's HECHINGER lawn tractor and found your website. You had the exact replacement part (steering arm ball joint) which arrived quickly, and I was able to install within 10 minutes. I am so happy to have this tractor running again, and I am really glad I found YOU!
Thank you so much!

Mower steering restored
Found the right part, arrived on time, working great. Not sure if it will last 24 years like the original, but we're off to a good start.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Remove the front wheel, then remove the the ball joint from the axle by removing the nut and washer. Then thread the ball joint from the tie rod. Install the new ball joint to the tie rod. Lining it up so it will slip right into the axle. Place the washer on, then tighten the nut. Then reinstall the wheel assembly.
1. Remove old joint
2.Try to install new part.
3 Found that new part had different size threads.
4. Drilled and re-threaded to correct size.
5. Installed and tractor now works great.
