Question for Rob Love......

2530-00-211-6111 (this and the other number you listed were used on the old gas 5 tons (M39, M40, M62 etc) from the 50s as well).

tapered bearing surface major diameter 1.249 inches minimum and 1.251 inches maximum

taper length 1.813 inches nominal

rod connecting end thread location internal
rod connecting end thread size 1-1/2 -12
rod connecting end thread series designator unf
rod connecting end thread direction right-hand
rod connecting end thread length 3.813 inches nominal
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.
