I'm new to tractors and recently purchase an L3710. I love it, but it was a little beat up when I got it. I've fixed most of what I can, but now want to replace the tie rods. The boots are torn and there is tons of play in them. So, I looked at Messick and they run $900 for both. I look on ebay and amazon and see some for less than $100 each. So, my question: I find them for L3700s The part number is close, but not the same. The part is a TA040-13700, but the ones I find say compatible with L3700SU and that part number is TC220-13700. Its the same for both sides in that they are close, but not exact. I can't find dimensions or other answers to the differences. Does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts on how compatible these are? If it "looks" close to the same, will they work? I'm open to any suggestions (I know I can plunk down the $900, but I think I'd rather let it ride for now for that amount). Thanks for the help ahead of time!
