Lower King Pin for Ford 40 Series, Case IH CX & Maxxum Tractors – Carraro Front Axle

Description

When your tractor starts wandering or the steering feels loose, there’s a good chance your king pins are starting to wear out. This lower king pin is the pivot point that lets your front wheels steer smoothly while handling all the weight and stress of your tractor. A worn king pin means sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and eventually unsafe handling—problems that can turn dangerous when you’re working steep ground or pulling heavy loads.

What You’re Getting

• Heat-treated alloy steel construction that handles the constant pivoting and heavy loads your tractor dishes out
• Precision-machined to tight tolerances so your steering stays smooth and responsive
• Hardened surface treatment prevents premature wear even under the tough conditions of farm work
• Direct replacement for original equipment—no modifications or adapters needed
• Engineered specifically for Carraro front axles, so you know it’ll fit right and work properly

Built for Real Farm Work

This king pin fits Carraro front axles found in Ford New Holland 40 Series tractors and various Case IH models. Whether you’re running hay equipment, pulling tillage tools, or doing loader work, these tractors see hard use in all kinds of conditions. The Carraro axle design is known for being tough and reliable, but like any mechanical part, the king pins eventually wear out from all that pivoting and loading.

Made to Last

Farm work is tough on steering components, and king pins take more abuse than most folks realize. This one’s built from hardened alloy steel that can handle the constant articulation, shock loads, and weather exposure that comes with agricultural use. The precision manufacturing ensures it’ll work smoothly with your existing bushings and upper king pin for years of reliable service.

Good to Know

This is definitely a job for someone comfortable with axle work—you’ll need to disassemble part of the front axle to get to the king pins. It’s smart to replace both upper and lower king pins at the same time since they wear together. While you’ve got things apart, check your bushings too. Proper torque specs and fresh grease during assembly will keep everything working like it should.
