Pivot Pins

Types of Replacement Pivot Pins

Lift arm and linkage pins carry load through the boom, the tilt linkage, and the cylinder ends. They wear on the underside where the load sits, so a pin can measure correct on top and be visibly flattened where it matters.

Tapered and clamp pins lock into their bores rather than floating in them, and they are used where any play at all would be unacceptable. Attachment pins including X-Change pins carry the mounting interface where implements connect and are exposed to the most dirt and impact of any pin on the machine.

Pins and bushings wear as a pair. A new pin dropped into a bushing that has already gone oval gives back most of the slop within hours, and the load now bears on a small contact patch that wears the new pin faster than the old one went. Replace both, and check the bore itself before ordering either.
