Frequently Asked Questions

What pins and bushings do I need to rebuild the bucket linkage on a John Deere 200DLC?

A full linkage rebuild on the 180GLC through 225DLC machines uses the bucket to dipper arm pin, bucket to H-link pin, link to cylinder pin, and link to dipper pin, along with the matching H-link and dipper bushings. Broken Tractor carries each of these parts individually as well as the H-link, left and right dipper links, and a shim and seal kit. Match the SKU to your worn part or confirm the setup with the parts team before ordering.

Does the bucket H-link for the 180GLC fit a 225DLC?

Yes, the Bucket H-Link (SKU 8076541) fits the 180GLC, 200CLC, 200DLC, 225CLC, and 225DLC. It is the same linkage component across the C, D, and G series machines in this range. We also offer an alternate H-Link (SKU FF550043) that covers additional model variants.

What is the difference between the H-link open end and closed end bushings on a 200CLC?

The H-link uses two bushing styles, an open end bushing (SKU 4352398) and a closed end bushing (SKU 4443882), and both fit the 180GLC, 200CLC, 200DLC, 225CLC, and 225DLC. They install in different positions of the H-link, so a complete rebuild typically needs both. Compare the SKU to the bushing you are replacing to be sure you order the correct end.

How do I install new bushings on a 225DLC excavator linkage?

Broken Tractor offers a steel bushing driver removal and installation tool that lets you press worn bushings out and new ones in during field service. It is a universal tool that works on excavators, dozers, loaders, and backhoes. Pair it with the correct H-link or dipper bushing by SKU for your 180GLC through 225DLC machine.

Do I need shims and seals when replacing linkage pins on a 210G?

Yes, we carry a Shim and Seal Kit (SKU PV7002) that fits the 180GLC, 200CLC, 200DLC, 200G, 210G, 210GLC, 210P, 225CLC, 225DLC, and 245GLC. Fresh shims and seals help set proper clearance and keep contaminants out when you install new pins and bushings. Broken Tractor also stocks individual O-rings and bucket link seals for these machines.
