Key Notes:

• Part Number: 214-2255 (Caterpillar reference 214-2255)
• Weight: 0.90 lbs
• Application: Boom and dipper cylinder eye on the small frame machines - the sleeve at the 65 mm pin eye of the cylinder
• Location: Backhoe end, inside the cylinder eye. Caterpillar publishes no application phrase for this number, but its large frame twin 213-6682 is Caterpillar-titled for the cylinders in the boom and stick, and this part sits at the same position on the 415 and 416 class machines.
• Dimensions: 65.30 mm inside diameter, 78.13 mm outside diameter, 35 mm long
• Measure Before Ordering: 213-6682 shares this bore and outside diameter and is 38 mm long. Three millimetres is about an eighth of an inch and easy to miss by eye - check your model against the list above, then confirm with a caliper.
• Style/Type: Straight steel sleeve
• Quantity: Two required per joint. Sold individually.
• Serial Number Notes: Confirm the prefix on your data plate. No 420 or 430 class machine takes this part.
• Material: Steel, low alloy
• Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
• Shipping Restrictions: Ships within the lower 48 United States only

Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Use when the boom or dipper cylinder on a 415, 416, 422E or 428E knocks at its pin, when a cylinder eye has started to wear oval, or when the pin turns in the eye instead of inside the bushing. Cylinder eyes are welded to the tube - saving one is worth far more than the bushing costs.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

• ✅ Small Frame Version Of The Joint: 35 mm for the 415, 416, 422E and 428E. The 420 and 450 class take the 38 mm 213-6682 at the same position, and the two are otherwise identical.
• ✅ Eight Machines Across Four Generations: Current, F2, F and E Series 415 and 416 class machines plus the 422E and 428E on one number.
• ✅ Three Millimetres In Writing: The only physical difference from its large frame twin is 3 mm of length, so both numbers and both machine lists are printed here rather than left to the parts counter.
