Joe, I did a little searching through Stovebolt and came across this thread specifically on your topic. Fellow Bolter
WICruiser seems to have had a custom replacement adjustable tie rod end style link made relatively inexpensively for his 3600 that may fit your desired results. Parts books indicate the steering arms and related components for the 3600 will also work for your 3800 (3100 are a different size so the
Legacy Tech Tip for 3100's won't give your the correct parts needed). The pictured link in the mentioned thread looks plenty strong and also allows for adjustability to get your steering just right.
Perhaps WICruiser will reply here to provide a bit more detail on the specifics of the link he had made?
