Starting on my winter projects on my BX2680 - I need to replace the inner tie rod boots. One boot was cracked slightly when I bought the tractor used and now both are cracked open. Are the Botaproducts (bxtractorparts.com) still the go-to aftermarket boots? I did see that Kubota has a replacement tie-rod (K1253-16604) with some heavy-duty boots. I don't need tire-rods so no need for that expense. Thanks

I purchased boots on eBay several years ago and installed them on my BX22, and they never failed me. They were made of a silicone rubber compound that stayed soft and pliable in the coldest temperatures. I found them through a thread on TBN which was before OTT was formed.
I needed the boots again when I purchased my BX23S and this time I purchased them on Amazon. So far they are holding up well. The cost of the kit is $12.00 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...Tie Rod Boot Upgraded Kit,-Brand: Jetuplusllc
