I broke my right side tie rod today. I'm planning to replace both parts. Any advice / hints on how to do this? I've never done it before. Thanks in advance.

I recently did one on a L3301 (maybe slightly different) and its super easy.
the tie rod ends popped out very easily with small tap of a 2x4. Old one already broken so no need to worry about wrecking them (haha)
Below is from a L3301 WSM and shows you the toe adjustment made with the turn buckle and torque spec for the lock nut.
Lots of youtube vid's that give you general idea before diving in.
On the difficulty scale much easier than changing fluids.

THANK YOU! That's the exact same tractor except for the engine.

If hitting steering arm where tapered tie rod bolt fits won't loosen tie rod bolt then a pickle fork is your next best option.
