Drag link replacement

[Jwoodman59]

I have a JD L118, the right drag link broke. I have the new one and mounted to the front. What's the best way to mount it to the back. How much needs to come apart?

If you have to decide whether to replace a ball joint or not, replace the ball joint. The thing broke for a reason and is probably worn out, so when in doubt, replace it.
