The tie rod on your John Deere 110 TLB backhoe is breaking because of excessive stress and fatigue on the tapered part of the ball joint. This can be caused by a few factors:
1. Heavy Loads and Rough Operation: If you are using your backhoe for heavy-duty tasks or operating it on rough terrain, it can put a lot of stress on the tie rod and cause it to break.
2. Worn or Damaged Components: If the ball joint or other components of the steering system are worn or damaged, it can cause the tie rod to work improperly and eventually break.
3. Improper Maintenance: If you have not been regularly inspecting and maintaining your backhoe, it can increase the risk of tie rod failure.
How to Stop the Problem:
To prevent the tie rod from breaking again, you can take the following steps:
1. Avoid Heavy Loads and Rough Operation: Try to avoid overloading your backhoe and operating it on rough terrain as much as possible.
2. Inspect and Maintain Regularly: Regularly inspect the steering system, including the tie rod and ball joints, for signs of wear or damage. If you find any problems, have them repaired immediately.
3. Replace Worn Components: If the ball joint or other components of the steering system are worn or damaged, replace them immediately to prevent further damage and potential injury.
4. Use Genuine Parts: When replacing components, use genuine John Deere parts to ensure proper fit and performance.
5. Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for operating, maintaining, and servicing your John Deere backhoe to ensure its safe and reliable operation.
