Description

When you notice loose or sloppy steering on your John Deere 6000 series tractor, there’s a good chance worn king pins are the culprit. Your tractor’s king pins are the pivot points that allow front wheels to turn for steering, and when they wear out, you’ll feel it in the steering wheel long before you see it. This replacement king pin restores tight steering control and gets your tractor handling like it should.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined replacement that fits exactly like the original factory part
Heavy-duty construction built to handle the constant loads and steering forces
Direct bolt-in replacement – no modifications or custom work needed
Restores proper steering geometry and eliminates dangerous play in the front end

Built for Real Farm Work

This king pin fits the complete John Deere 6000 series lineup, from the smaller 6100 utility tractors up through the bigger 6500 row-crop machines. Whether you’re operating a 6000 series with a loader, using a 7000 series for heavy field work, or running older 10/20/30 series tractors, these are the workhorses found on farms everywhere handling everything from loader work to fieldwork to road travel.

Made to Last

King pin bushings endure tremendous loads – supporting front axle weight, absorbing steering forces, and handling impact from rough terrain. Original bushings gradually wear from this constant movement and loading, and this replacement is built to handle those same demanding conditions season after season.

Good to Know

King pin bushing replacement typically requires removing the front wheel and hub assembly to access the pin – usually a 2-3 hour job per side. Always replace bushings in pairs for balanced steering. While you’re in there, it’s a good time to check the condition of related components like seals and bushings – worn parts often damage each other, so replacing everything together saves you from doing the job twice.
