Frequently Asked Questions

What pins and links fit a John Deere 450CLC, 450DLC, and 470GLC excavator?

Broken Tractor carries bucket link pins, H-link pins, bucket cylinder pins, and bucket to dipper arm pins that fit the 450CLC, 450DLC, and 470GLC. This includes the Bucket to Dipper Arm Pin (SKU 3104742), Bucket to H-Link Pin (SKU 3093215), and Link to Bucket Cylinder Pin (SKU DH300061). Match the part number to your linkage point to confirm the correct fit.

Do you have left and right hand bucket and dipper links for the 450DLC?

Yes, we offer side-specific links for these large-frame machines. The Right Hand Bucket Link (SKU 8050176) fits the 450CLC, 450DLC, and 470GLC, and the Left Hand Dipper Link (SKU 8050178) fits the 450CLC and 450DLC. Choose the side that matches your machine's worn link.

What bushings and seals do I need for the H-link on a 470GLC?

For the H-link area, Broken Tractor carries the H-Link Bushing (SKU AT201695), the H-Link Grease Seal (SKU 4251212), and a Grease O-Ring (SKU 4487682), all fitting the 450CLC, 450DLC, and 470GLC. We also stock the Dipper Stick Bushing at Bucket Link (SKU TH103214) for these models. Replace worn bushings and seals together to keep the pin joint sealed and greased.

Do I need a special tool to install bucket link bushings on a John Deere excavator?

A bushing driver helps remove and install steel bushings cleanly at the linkage points. We carry a steel Bushing Driver Removal and Installation Tool (SKU BushingDriver) that works on excavators along with dozers, loaders, and backhoes. Using the correct driver reduces the risk of damaging the new bushing during install.

How do I confirm the right H-link pin fits my 450DLC or 470GLC?

Fitment on these machines can vary by pin location and configuration, so match the part number to the exact linkage point you are servicing. For example, the H-Link to Bucket Pin (SKU FF550922) fits the 450DLC and 470GLC, while other H-link pins fit different points. If you are unsure which pin you need, call our parts team at (800) 909-7060.
