Description
If you’ve been hearing clunks from the front end or noticed your Ford tractor wanting to wander instead of track straight, chances are your front axle pivot bushings are worn out. What starts as minor play quickly becomes a safety hazard, affecting steering precision and causing premature tire wear. This center pivot bushing works with the axle pin to create the critical pivot point that lets your front axle follow ground contours while supporting massive weight.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined dimensions (2.146″ I.D., 2.288″ O.D., 1.5″ L) for proper fit with your axle pin
- Quality steel construction that handles the constant stress of steering forces and vertical loads
- Ground smooth finish prevents premature wear and ensures smooth pivot action
- Direct replacement for both manual and power steering tractors – no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This bushing fits Ford 2000 and 3000 series tractors from 1965 to 1970, plus 3400, 3500, and 3550 models – the backbone tractors of mid-scale farming operations. Whether you’re running a loader, mowing, raking, or doing light tillage, these versatile workhorses handle varied work that puts unique stresses on front-end components.
Made to Last
Every bump, turn, and load shift works to wear the pin and bushings, so this part is heat-treated for toughness where it counts. The precise dimensions are critical for proper function – the exact fit prevents metal-on-metal contact that would quickly destroy expensive parts while maintaining proper wall thickness for durability.
Installation Notes
Always replace the bushing when changing the axle pin – installing a new pin in a worn bush is throwing money away, and you’ll have play again within months. Make sure the axle housing is clean and the bushing is properly seated, then apply a light coating of grease on the axle pin for assembly and initial break-in.
