Canada did use the M800 series of 5 ton, but without even looking at them I can just about guarantee that the 5 ton tie rod ends will be obscenely large. The 5 tons were just a M35 2-1.2 ton on steroids.
I can take a quick look today at work and compare the tie rods on our 5 ton wrecker (M-62) with the tie rods on some of the CMPs.
I have, in the past, also rebuilt a rod end by gutting a similar tie rod and moving all the internal components to the worn tie rod. The work was sound, but did require a couple of spot welds to hold the bottom washer onto the tie rod to close it all up. But this was in a wartime situation....not sure I would do it as a day to day repair.
