Description
When your David Brown starts wandering down the road or the steering feels loose and sloppy, there’s a good chance these little spindle bushes are the culprits. These small but crucial parts keep your front axle kingpins properly aligned and your steering tight. David Brown 700, 800, and 900 series tractors served as reliable workhorses on farms throughout Britain, Europe, and export markets from the 1960s through the 1980s, earning legendary status for their innovative hydraulic systems and robust construction.

Built for Real Farm Work
This spindle bush fits across the David Brown lineup from the smaller 850 and 880 models up through the powerful 1390 and 1394 tractors. These tractors powered essential farming operations including cultivation, planting, harvesting, and transport work across diverse agricultural enterprises from small family farms to larger commercial operations. Whether you’re cultivating corn, running a disc, or hauling grain to the elevator, proper steering is critical for safety and productivity.
Made to Last
Farm work is hard on steering components, especially when you’re turning tight at the ends of rows or working in rough ground. This replacement bush uses quality materials that resist wear from dirt, moisture, and the constant flexing that comes with field work. It’s engineered to provide years of reliable service under the demanding conditions these tractors face every day.
Good to Know
Replacing spindle bushes typically requires pressing out the old ones and pressing in the new – a job best done with proper tools or by someone with experience. While you’ve got the front end apart, it’s a good time to check your tie rod ends and other steering components for wear. Keep in mind that these bushes often come in pairs, so if one side is worn, the other probably isn’t far behind.
