locking clamp type integral
When I check a nearby CMP I get a tie rod thread of 1-1/4, a maxh shank dia of 1" and a length of 1.5" for the shank length. Not a match.
I wonder if the front tie rods are more a marmon Herrington or Timken axle thing, since those were the designers of the four wheel drive axles used.
Another good place to check is find someone who will loan you a merritor catalogue. They have lots of photos and measurements.
