Removed the old linkage by removing the nut on both ends and installing the new linkage. I had done the same on the other side about a year ago - if I had it to do over I would have just replaced both when I did the first one. The replacements are superior to the originally installed components

To my misfortune, the left side drag link broke while mowing today. Will be placing another order later today.
My Craftsman 42" tractor mower has taken a beating the past 12 years in the country. Mowing much more than I should, on some pretty rough terrain.

Fortunate for me I have a electrical hoist to raise the tractor. Right Baffle had several carriage bolts holding it on, which some had to be replaced due to being worn. Each tie rod had only two nuts holding them in place. Decals were place in my owner's manual for future use.
