Title:
SHAFT ROD END (KU-TA04017173)
Description:
Restore precise steering linkage operation with the Kubota TA040-17173 Shaft, Rod End. This genuine Kubota replacement shaft is a key component within the steering cylinder assembly, providing the required connection and movement between the steering cylinder and associated steering linkage components.
The rod-end shaft operates under repeated steering loads and is essential for maintaining correct movement and alignment within the steering system. A worn, damaged or incorrectly fitted shaft can contribute to excessive steering play, poor steering response or unwanted movement within the steering cylinder assembly.
Manufactured to Kubota specifications, the TA040-17173 provides an accurate replacement for compatible Kubota L-Series and MX-Series tractors. It is supplied as the rod-end shaft only, with the steering cylinder, rod-end components, pins, seals, bushings and associated mounting hardware available separately.
Kubota parts listings confirm that TA040-17173 replaces TA040-17170 and TA040-17172, making it the updated replacement for these earlier part numbers.
