Rubber boot on front tie rod ripped (BX1870)

[sgraber]

I was performing some routine checks to my BX1870 today and noticed that the rubber boot on the front-right side tire had ripped. Can someone tell me what this part is and where is a good place online to buy replacement parts?

Thank you! You are right! Since it sounds like these tend to rip periodically, I've ordered two so I have a spare.

My brother just replaced the ones on our BX with the Kubota part, pretty simple, the ones from eBay look good too, never saw them before.

Is there actually a rip or is there a small hole for excess grease to escape?

It's actually a rip - probably around 3/4" in length.

D2,

mine are ripped pretty good, and as for the grease, aint much there to begin with - I would say none. Think of a pleated fold and tearing right on the fold.

I might order me a set from ebay ....they look nice!

Well after I go through the two I just ordered from Messicks, I will try those out!

That seller on Ebay has a nice hydraulic pressure gauge with quick connect fitting for sale also...$58.
