Description
When your John Deere’s steering starts feeling loose or you notice excessive play in the front wheels, it’s often the king pin assembly needing attention. This shim kit helps you get that front axle dialed in just right, eliminating play and restoring tight steering feel. Getting the proper clearances on king pins is critical for safe operation—too loose and you’ll have wandering and premature wear, too tight and you’ll have hard steering and binding.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-sized shims for proper king pin clearance adjustment
- Multiple thicknesses to achieve exact tolerances your tractor requires
- Quality materials that won’t compress or deform under load
- Complete kit eliminates guesswork during assembly
Built for Real Farm Work
This shim kit is designed specifically for John Deere 6M and 6R Series tractors, machines that see serious work every day. Whether you’re running a 6155R with a heavy loader, pulling implements with a 6175M, or doing transport work, these tractors demand precise front-end geometry. Proper king pin adjustment keeps your steering responsive and your tires wearing evenly.
Made to Last
Farm equipment shims need to handle constant stress and movement without losing their dimensions. These shims are made from quality steel that maintains thickness under the tremendous loads king pins see during operation. They won’t crush, compress, or wear out of spec like inferior materials might.
Installation Notes
King pin shimming requires front axle disassembly and proper measuring tools to determine correct shim thickness. It’s precision work that’s often done during king pin replacement or major front axle service. Always follow John Deere specifications for proper clearances—getting this right the first time saves you from having to tear things apart again.
