Boom Cylinder Rod End at Swing Tower Bushing for Cat 416E | 9R-2700 | 39 mm

Fits Models At A Glance:

• Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders - E Series: 416E

Serial Number Notes:

• 416E: SHA, BWC, LMS, CBD - check the three character prefix on your machine data plate
• One machine only: Caterpillar lists 9R-2700 against the 416E and nothing else. The 416F, 420E, 420F, 422E, 428E, 432E, 434E and the current 415, 416 and 420 use 9R-0139 at this joint instead.
• Serial range within the 416E is not published: The 416E ran across four prefixes and more than one build, and Caterpillar publishes no serial break for this bushing. The 416E rod eye also appears with the longer greaseable 326-3362, so measure the bushing you are pressing out before ordering.

Key Notes:

• Part Number: 9R2700 (Caterpillar reference 9R-2700)
• Weight: 0.90 lbs
• Application: Boom cylinder rod end at the swing tower - the bushing in the rod eye of the 416E boom cylinder, where that rod pins into the swing tower
• Location: Backhoe end, boom cylinder rod eye. Not the base end - the 416E base eye is a 78.2 mm bore and takes a different bushing entirely.
• Dimensions: 55.22 mm inside diameter, 68.61 mm outside diameter, 39 mm long
• Measure Before Ordering: 9R-0139 also fits the 416E and shares this bore to within a twentieth of a millimetre, so the inside diameter will not tell them apart. Measure the OUTSIDE DIAMETER and the LENGTH - this part is 68.61 mm by 39 mm, 9R-0139 is 68.10 mm by 38 mm.
• Style/Type: Straight steel sleeve, no grease hole, no cross holes, no grooves
• Serial Number Notes: 416E prefixes SHA, BWC, LMS and CBD. No serial break is published for this bushing within the 416E run.
• 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 cylinder rod eye on a 416E has play at the swing tower pin, when the pin shows a polished wear band, or when the bushing has started to walk out of its bore. Catching it here saves the rod eye, which cannot be replaced without a welder and a boring bar.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

• ✅ Rod Eye Not Base Eye: The 416E base end is a 78.2 mm bore and takes a different sleeve. At 68.61 mm this one only goes in the rod eye, so there is no way to fit it wrong.
• ✅ A Half Millimetre Decides This One: The bore is shared with 9R-0139 to within five hundredths of a millimetre - outside diameter and length are the only usable checks, and both are printed on this page.
• ✅ Weight Corrected Before It Shipped: The vendor figure of 0.57 lb works out to a density no steel has. We recalculated from Caterpillar's own dimensions and listed it at 0.90 lb so your freight quote is right.
