Key Notes:

• Part Number: 456-9700
• Weight: 136.00 lbs (61.69 kg)
• Type: Blade ball pivot socket — the receiver housing that seats the trunnion ball and allows the dozer blade to pivot and float through its full range of motion
• Application: Mounts on the main frame or C-frame and captures the trunnion ball at the center blade pivot point; critical for blade angle, tilt, and float movement on the dozer
• Condition: Made in USA replacement part by Paint Valley Equipment

Common Use Case or Symptoms:
Use when the blade pivot is loose, worn, or clunking during push cycles — a cracked or worn socket allows the trunnion ball to shift under load, causing imprecise blade control, excessive wear on adjacent components, and loss of grading accuracy.
