Description
If you’ve noticed your tractor’s front end getting sloppy or making grinding sounds when you turn, chances are this king pin needs attention. King pins are the critical pivot points that allow your front wheels to turn for steering while supporting the full weight of the front axle. When they wear out, you’ll feel that unsettling play in the steering wheel and see your tires wearing unevenly – problems that only get worse if you keep putting off the fix.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined steel construction built to handle heavy loads and constant steering motion
- Direct replacement that eliminates dangerous steering play and wandering
- Heat-treated surfaces resist wear from the grinding forces of daily operation
- Proper fit that works with existing bushings and seals in your front axle
Built for Real Farm Work
This king pin fits a wide range of Ford New Holland tractors from the versatile TM series that handle everything from hay work to heavy tillage, to the powerful T7000 series built for serious field operations. These tractors see demanding use in all kinds of conditions, and the king pins take tremendous abuse from loader work, implement pulls, and constant steering corrections in rough terrain.
Made to Last
King pins aren’t just steel rods – they’re precision-engineered components that must pivot smoothly under enormous loads while maintaining tight tolerances. This replacement features the proper hardness and surface finish to work with your existing bushings without causing premature wear. The steel is heat-treated where it counts most, giving you a tough core that won’t snap under shock loads.
Installation Notes
King pin replacement typically requires supporting the front axle and pressing out the old pin – plan on 2-3 hours per side. Always replace the bushings at the same time since installing a new pin in worn bushings wastes money and time. Check your front axle beam for cracks or elongated holes while you’re in there, and don’t forget to grease those fittings regularly once everything’s back together.
