Default Rod End Size? Right or Left?

I have a bunch of worn rod ends on a 2084 I am working on and while it's apart I want to replace them and tighten up the steering. I intend to replace the ends on the P/S cylinder and both ends of both tie rods. From what I see for the parts blow up, all the ends are 1/2"x20 female thread but there is no mention if they are right or left. Will probably order them from McMaster-Carr unless my friend at the race shop can get me a better deal. Going to get the heavy duty greaseable ones since they are cheap enough. I may get them for the 2086 while I am at it.

They should all be right hand thread. All the tie rod ends on my 1572 are right threads.

I just looked at the tie rod ends and the inner doesn't look like its 1/2" its much smaller. The outer looks like it may be 1/2". I'm sure somebody has been down this road, any insight on the correct ones I need to order?

Well, you could always look it up......

My bad, it doesn't say. But it does give a size for the jam nut for the tie rod. It's listed under the #7 listing for the tie rod itself. Process of elimination.

I did try to look it up first before I asked , I saw the size for the 1/2" jam nut, but missed the one for the 3/8" one. Unless there is something else I need to know about the rod ends I'm good for now.

If your thinking of using the Heim style, they can be had with oil impregnated bronze bearing surface.
Or a PTFE liner instead.
The HEIM joint wipes the bearing surfaces clean when it moves.

If you use a non-stud type HEIM joint directly bolted with a bolt in the eye, then the movement will be restricted.
Use the stud style HEIM joint.

As inexpensive as they are, I would not use the greaseable type. Your just inviting dirt and grit to hang on the part that does not work well with such.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
