Frequently Asked Questions

What pins do I need to rebuild the linkage on a John Deere 790DLC?

Broken Tractor carries the full set of linkage pins for the 790DLC, 790ELC, and 230LC, including the link to cylinder pin (SKU T138885), link to dipper pin (SKU TH109810), bucket to dipper pin (SKU TH110235), and bucket to H-link pin (SKU TH110236). Buying the pins as a set lets you refresh every pivot point during a linkage rebuild. Match the part numbers to your machine or confirm fitment with our parts team before ordering.

What is the difference between the left hand and right hand link for a 790ELC?

The links are handed for the left and right sides of the machine, so you order the side you need. For the 790DLC, 790ELC, and 230LC we carry the left hand link with bolt hole (SKU AT154838) and the right hand link (SKU AT154693), along with the H-link (SKU AT217891). Check your existing link position and hardware to pick the correct hand.

How do I know if the H-link bushings are worn on a 230LC?

Worn H-link and dipper bushings usually show up as excess play, clunking, or side-to-side movement at the pivot points when the bucket is worked. We carry closed end H-link bushings (SKU 4355876), dipper or H-link bushings (SKU 4358100), and dipper link bushings (SKU 4332285) for the 790DLC, 790ELC, and 230LC. Replacing the bushings and pins together restores tight pivot connections.

Do you have the seals and O-rings for the bucket and link pivots on a 790DLC?

Yes, Broken Tractor offers bucket and link seals (SKU TH102446), additional pivot seals (SKU TH102445), and O-rings (SKU 4089028) that fit the 790DLC, 790ELC, and 230LC. Installing new seals and O-rings when you replace pins and bushings helps keep dirt out of the freshly serviced pivot points.

What tool removes and installs excavator bushings?

We carry a universal steel Bushing Driver removal and installation tool (SKU BushingDriver) that works for excavators along with dozers, loaders, and backhoes. It helps drive out worn bushings and seat new ones cleanly when servicing the linkage on your 790DLC, 790ELC, or 230LC. If you are unsure which parts you need, call our parts team at (800) 909-7060.
