Drag link ends commercial part?

[pinmode]

Anyone aware of a commercial part numbers for the drag link ends? P-12877-KL0 or 12877-KL. The drag link itself is 12650 REV C. I see a full unit on the bay, but I really just need the ends. Thanks!

Yes, those drag link ends.

I'm assuming they are different from the tie rod ends (which can be sourced easily as ES431L / ES431R, according to this thread).

The only end is part #8. The other end is permanently attached. I have looked in the past, but only found the entire unit at around $500.

Not available commercially. You can obtain the parts from ZF or Washington foundaries in Hewlett, NY.

Thanks all - I didn't realize that it's only 2 parts.

I found drag links with both ends replaceable, just need to get new ends for the ones I got.

They are used take offs from scrapped armor trucks I believe. The person that has them will be listing them on eBay soon I would imagine. Not cheap, but cheaper than the crimped ones and repairable.

Pat, does the newer trucks have this type.. or the oldest ones? just wondering what was the manufacture "upgrade/update" and what was the original.

Weird, I went and looked at both of my trucks. The 1078 is a 94 and has the crimped ends. The 1083 has the non-crimped drag link and it is also a 94. So I guess I have an extra one now as I assumed both trucks would need them and bought 2.
