Key Notes:

• Part Number: T196072
• Weight: 16 lbs (7.26 kg)
• Type: Weld-on blade swivel ball — welded directly to the dozer blade for a permanent, structural attachment
• Application: Blade swivel ball — the central pivot component that seats inside the swivel ball socket on the C-frame, allowing the blade to tilt, pitch, and angle during dozing operations
• Manufacturer: PVE Products — Made in USA
• Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
• Note: Professional welding required for installation — this is a weld-on style ball. Use with blade swivel ball socket T255152, retainer ring T255155, slip ring T227961, and pivot ball shims T255156 (1mm) and T255157 (2mm) to complete the blade pivot assembly

Common Use Case or Symptoms: Use when the blade swivel ball is cracked, severely worn, or has lost its spherical profile — a worn blade ball causes excessive play at the pivot point, uneven blade movement, and accelerated wear on the socket and retainer components on John Deere H-Series, J-Series, K-Series, and P-Tier dozers.
