Maybe a measurement or two would confirm if any of these tie rod boots might fit with base diameter and height. I don't have any easily available pieces with boots left on to check shape or size against.

The lever ball OD is 7/8" and the neck tapers roughly from 7/16" to 5/8+. The length of rod opening it needs to cover is roughly 1 1/2 and height above lever looks around 1/2". The second item for Ford looks interesting but no dimensions. I'm thinking if the wide part will be enough to cover the opening JDS736 is close to what I remember from Hank's picture of Max's but don't know if 9/16 will slide over ball any better. ABC368 or ABC369 might be worth a look since the neck isn't as pronounced and wide part would give more overlap to the rod opening.

I can't decide which looks more like the parts manual pict. www.antiquetractorsrus.com/fordtractorparts/axles/fordaxleparts3.html
