Default 123 Tie rod

Long story short: previous owner must have ran in to something, messed up the steering knuckles. He sort-of fixed it, but it has never been right.

I think one or both of the steering knuckles are tweaked, not sure which. But I think I could make a decent repair if I knew the length of the tie rod that goes between the knuckles... part number IH-384632-R1.... (I am not at the tractor at the moment to measure). I might be able to fix it OK with a tie rod that is an inch or so longer than original. Currently, the tie rod ends are holding on to just enough threads to keep them on.

I will also try to straighten the knuckle(s).
