the only thing I haven't replaced or rebuilt is the draglink. It seems tight, even if the dust shields are worn and greasy, but I'd rather be safe than sorry/ Any recommendations on what I should replace? _________________ 1952 M38A1

Remove it, disassemble it, clean the parts and inspect them per the manual. _________________ Wes K

I have a new draglinik assembly I dont need. Its part # 646619 that everyone sells. I ended up not using it. But if just your parts are worn and the shaft is good, I'd just buy the rebuild kit.
I dont understand why the manufacturer doesnt include everything with the new asssembly that they have in the rebuild kit. Everything but the dust seals and seal retainers are there. I ended up making seals out of an old innertube and re-shaping the seal caps.

save all of your old parts if you choose to rebuild your draglink. The kit I got had end pieces that didnt fit so re-use of the originals put it back together.
