I need a ball stud for my forklift that is part of the steering assist linkage. It is an old Hysterand the stud is 3/4 thread and the ball is 1 1/4 to 3/8, I have to get it out to confirm diameter. I know a Neil joint is a possible replacement but, I would like to find this stud if commonly available.

I can't seem to edit on this phone with fat fingers. The "Neal" joint should be a Heim, joint this has some damn software that I am still learning. The ball diameter is 1 1/2 and it has a flat on the top.

I made a much smaller one for a '30 Packard.

I replaced one on a '54 Hyster. Larger than yours. Think it came out of Washington state. It was hardened. Fatigue break at the thread.
Very dificult to remove till I got a three foot cheater on an 18" cresent. Not a Cresent, probably would have snapped that. Used a Williams.

I did get the old stump out after welding a bar on the broken flange. I ended up buying a trailer ball and turning it to size.

Here is the one I pulled out in '08. Driver snapped it turning in the street 1/2 mile from the shop. Blocked the street with a thunderstom on the way.
Just got it out before the rain. It is two pieces with a clean break at the neck.
