Got the deck on the C-120 and it mows great and the deck is quiet but I broke a tie rod on the tractor today so I will be out $80 on tie rods.

Deck is on

Did you break the end or the rod itself? If it's the rod, sleeve it. Replacement ends are available. I would expect you could find something g to work for less than $ 80.
The end but mine isn't a threaded style it made into the rod.

If you had a lathe, you could thread the rod for new ends. (I'm assuming you have the cheapo rods that have the ball sockets machined directly into the rod.)

I wish I had a lathe also wished I had a mill. And yes it the cheapo ones.

I replaced the ones on my 416-8 with RH threaded Heim joints and all-thread rod. Now they are adjustable and much stronger for a fraction the cost of factory replacements.
