Description

When your tractor starts clunking and wandering down the road, or you notice uneven tire wear that’s costing you more than this part, there’s a good chance your king pins have seen better days. Nine times out of ten, it’s worn king pins causing the trouble. When you’ve got sloppy steering and uneven tire wear that’s costing you more than this part, it’s time to fix the problem at its source. This upper king pin restores the tight, precise steering your John Deere had when it was new.

Precision-machined to exact specifications for proper fit and steering alignment
Corrosion-resistant surface treatment for extended service life in harsh conditions
Direct replacement that eliminates steering play and restores precise control

Built for MFWD Systems

Your tractor’s king pins are the pivot points that allow front wheels to turn, enduring tremendous loads and constant movement. Whether you’re running a loaded front-end loader, making tight turns at headlands, or hauling down the road, these pins take tremendous forces from every direction. They’re what let your wheels turn while supporting the weight of the entire front axle assembly. The MFWD system depends on these components for reliable steering performance when you need maximum traction.

Made to Last

High-horsepower tractors place extreme demands on front axle components, requiring king pins that can withstand continuous heavy loads, lateral forces during turning, and vertical stresses from implement weight transfer. This pin is engineered to handle the demanding conditions of modern farming operations, providing long-term reliability that reduces maintenance costs.

Installation Notes

Installation requires disassembling the front axle components – typically a job for someone with the right tools and experience. Always replace seals in pairs and inspect king pins and bushings for wear during service. Clean all grease passages thoroughly before reassembly. It’s a good time to check the bushings and seals while you’ve got things apart.
