Frequently Asked Questions

What pins do I need to rebuild the front linkage on a John Deere 490E excavator?

Broken Tractor carries the full set of connecting pins for the 490D, 490E, 110, and 120 front linkage, including the Link to Dipper Pin (SKU TH108940), Bucket to Dipper Arm Pin (SKU TH108941), Bucket to H-Link Pin (SKU TH108942), and Link to Cylinder Pin (SKU TH108943). Buying them together lets you replace worn pins from the dipper arm through the bucket coupler in one job. Match the part numbers to your machine or confirm fitment with our parts team before ordering.

Is the dipper link for a JD 490D excavator different on the left and right side?

Yes, the 490D uses separate left hand and right hand dipper links. We offer the Right Hand Dipper Link (SKU AT154248) and the Left Hand Dipper Link with Bolt Holes (SKU AT154543), both fitting the 490D, 490E, 110, and 120. Order the side you need, or both if you are rebuilding the complete linkage.

Does the bucket H-link fit a John Deere 490D excavator?

The Bucket H-Link we carry (SKU AT154498) is listed to fit the 490E, 110, and 120, not the 490D. If you have a 490D, confirm the correct part by matching part numbers or checking with our parts team so you get the right H-link for your machine.

What is the bushing driver tool used for on JD excavator linkage?

The Bushing Driver Removal and Installation Tool (SKU BushingDriver) is a steel tool used to press worn bushings out and drive new ones in during a linkage rebuild. It is universal and works on excavators, loaders, dozers, and backhoes, so it pairs well with the H-Link Closed End Bushing (SKU TH108930) for the 490D, 490E, 110, and 120.

Are the O-ring and grease seals included when replacing pins on a JD 110 excavator?

We offer the sealing parts separately so you can add them to your pin and link order. The O-Ring (SKU AT154340) fits the 490D, 490E, 110, and 120, and the Grease Seal (SKU TH100374) covers the 110, 120, 490D, and 490E among other models. Replacing seals along with the pins helps keep grease in and dirt out of the fresh joints.
