Surely you will never get the threads right??

I would think the fact its bent has weakened it, add in that heat would certainly weaken it further. I would just bite the bullet and get a new one. What would the cost of repairing whatever got damaged by it snapping be compared to the cost of a new top link?
It’s right on end so shouldn’t damage threads only slight bend but thinking not worth risk

I think as said above, not worth the risk. You can get a replacement end for it.

The bend will have weakened it. If you leave it and it snaps and puts a subsoiler through your back tyres you’ll regret it.
Price up a new complete top link too - a replacement end was £120, a new top link was £125 for one of our tractors.

What make and model tractor? If you give me the thread size I may have a new end in stock, or I can price to supply a manual or hydraulic one.
As others have said, not worth the risk.

I have straightened them before and it can be surprising how you will get part of the threads back to use. Only problem is as said above it’s not going to be any use for anything heavy. New ones the only job
Will measure and pm you it’s on a massy 6270 and it’s the hook end with shamfered sides on threads
