This morning I began cleaning up the drag link. First, I hit it with a power brush to knock off paint and surface rust. Next, I chucked it in the lathe and turned off 0.015". I did this to knock down the pitting. I finished up the day retapping the grease zerks. These are 1/8" NPT. Its back sleeping in the parts washer until I find my pipe wire brush to clean the inside threads.
