Need to replace the rod end steering cylinder ball joint on my 1988 555B. New Holland wants $169 for it. Earlier ones used a $30 ball joint(It is considerably smaller). Can't bring myself to pay it. Anyone have any ideas where I might find an aftermarket one or who made the originals for Ford? Thanks for any info.

Jeff NWOH,

Did you look at this site's online store? They're pretty good. I've ordered some stuff online here and got good service/parts. Try Alexanders in Texas. If I recall correctly, I ordered a steering cylinder from them for my 755 TLB. Came quickly and saved many $$$ off CNH price. They've got tie rod ends, also. There a couple of other sites online that I looked at that carry aftermarket parts, but I can't remember them offhand. Google the p/n and keywords like "ford tractor parts", but I'd try this site first.

I worked at a FNH dealer back in the early ninety's..I was amazed at the prices that FNH demanded for parts..I sold a new 555-C backhoe , the owner ran the cab into a steel beam..Broke that ABS plastic cover over the wiper arm...They wanted 600.00 dollars for less than 16 ounces of ABS plastic....A call was made to FNH questioning that price..It was adjusted to 275.00 dollars...Still steep for a piece of plastic...But better than 600...When I'm stumped , I go to the local NAPA and peruse through the catalogs..You would be surprised what you'll find there...They might have an application for a part like that...
