Frequently Asked Questions

What front axle U-joint fits a New Holland LB115 backhoe?

Broken Tractor offers two U-joint options for the LB115 family: the U-joint spider 85807997, which fits the LB115, LB115.B and LB115CP, and the axle shaft U-joint 85827008, which fits the B115, B115 Tier 3, B115B, LB115, LB115.B, LB115.B 4WS and LB115CP. These later machines use different U-joints than the earlier C, D and E series backhoes. Match the part number on your old U-joint before ordering.

What front axle U-joint fits a Ford 555C or 455D backhoe?

The 4WD front axle U-joints 84355357 and 9968059 both list the 555C and 455D in their fitment. Both also cover the 250C, 260C, 345C, 345D, 445C, 445D, 455C, 545C, 545D, 555D, 555E, 575D, 575E, 655C, 655D, 655E, 675D and 675E. Part 84355357 also fits LB75, LB75B, B90, B90B, LB90, LB90B, B95B, LB95, LB95B, LB110, B110B and the TB80 through TB120 models.

How do I pick the right front axle short shaft for a New Holland 575E or LB75B?

Short shafts differ by king pin style and sometimes by serial number, so check both before ordering. Part 85805997 is the 4-bolt top king pin version, and some of its listed fitment applies only to units built before serial number 031054301. We also carry short shafts 9968061 and 87306929, and you should confirm whether your axle has a 4-bolt or 6-bolt top king pin. If you are not sure, call (800) 909-7060 and the parts team can help match your model and serial number.

Can I buy a complete front axle shaft assembly for a New Holland LB90, or just individual parts?

You can buy either. Broken Tractor carries complete front axle shaft assemblies for the LB90, including 85805993, 85827741 and 9968056. We also carry the individual parts: inner shafts 85827069, 9968057 and 87306930, shaft connectors 85827070 and 9968058, plus spacers, snap rings and washers. Buying individual pieces lets you replace only the worn component.

Why are there several different shaft assembly part numbers for the New Holland LB110 backhoe?

Different production runs of the same model can use different shaft and connector designs, so more than one part number can list the LB110. For example, assemblies 85805993, 85827741 and 9968056 all include the LB110, and each pairs with its own inner shaft, connector, spacer and snap ring. The safest way to get the right part is to match the part number stamped on or listed for your existing shaft. You can also check your serial number with our parts team.
