As some may know from another thread I am in process of relocating the steering box on my 1950 3600. The relocation forced a review of the ball ends for the drag link and they are in need of being replaced. I reviewed the tech tip regarding the replacment of the drag link on a 3100 with one from a 54 version that has modern type rod ends connected to the pitman arm and spindle arm with tapered studs which sound like a reasonable approach . However, the information I have been able to find indicates that the 3100 and 3600 drag links are different. I assume the difference is due to the heavier expected load on the 3600.
I would appreciate any information others can share regarding a replacement drag link for the 3600. If the pitman arm and spindle bracket need to be machined with a taper to work I think I have a local resource that could do that.
