Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which bucket pin and bushing size I need for my John Deere excavator?

Pin and bushing sizes are matched by model and by the specific pivot location, such as the bucket, arm, boom, or linkage connection. Broken Tractor verifies correct pin and bushing sizing by model across G-Series, D-Series, C-Series, and Compact excavators. Because sizing can vary by serial number, match the part number or confirm the fit with our parts team before ordering.

What is the difference between an H-link and a dogbone on a John Deere excavator?

Both are link assemblies in the bucket linkage that connect the arm and bucket for proper digging motion. The H-link and dogbone work together at the pivot connections, and we carry both types matched to John Deere excavator models. If you are unsure which link your machine uses, confirm by model and serial number with our parts team.

Do you carry pins and bushings for compact John Deere excavators like the 35G and 50G?

Yes, Broken Tractor offers pins, bushings, and links for compact John Deere excavators including the 35G, 50G, 60G, 75G, and 85G. We also cover full-size machines across the C-Series, D-Series, and G-Series. Match the part number to your model to confirm the correct fit.

Should I replace both the pins and bushings at the same time?

Replacing pins and bushings together is common because both wear as a pair at each pivot connection, and worn bushings will quickly wear a new pin. Our pins are hardened and induction-treated steel, and our bushings come in sleeve and flanged types matched to the pin diameters. Confirm the sizes for your model so the new pin and bushing seat correctly.

What causes excessive play or slop in a John Deere excavator bucket linkage?

Play in the bucket linkage is usually caused by worn pins and bushings at the bucket, arm, boom, or link pivot connections. Replacing the worn pins and matching bushings, and inspecting the H-link and dogbone assemblies, restores tight linkage movement. Match the part numbers to your model, or call (800) 909-7060 for help identifying the worn components.
