Thank you. My bushings are gone.

Thank you. My bushings are gone.

I took my tie rods out because they were loose. There was no grease at all inside of those parts. I added a grease fitting to them. I also pressed them down in a press to tighten up the joints. So far so good.

Is it that unusual of size? I mean, Tie Rod ends in automotive applications are fairly universal these days.

Sorry for the rant but I want people to appreciate how lucky they are to have a Kioti

Moog or TRW are the big US players. India and other places make them too. Most OEM stuff is COTS (commercial off the shelf) figuring out whose shelf is the problem. Quite often the part will be stamped and a little googlefoo will lead you to a new one. Then there's the times where you have to get a set of calipers and figure out what you have, then start catalog digging.
Looks like the DK 45 series L/H is part Kioti T4625-31191 Tie Rod End (LH) for Kioti DK65, DK40, DK45, DK55, DK35
The R/H side is part #T4620-31051 which isnt as easy to find. That one will take some digging.
