Description
If you’ve noticed your Ford 8N wandering down the road or heard a clunking sound when you hit a bump, that worn radius rod pin might be the culprit. This little pin does big work—it connects the radius rod to the front axle, keeping everything properly positioned while you’re turning, backing, or working uneven ground. When it gets worn or loose, steering gets sloppy and the whole front end starts rattling around.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined pin that fits like the original Ford part
- Heat-treated steel construction that handles the stress of farm work
- Smooth finish that won’t wear out bushings prematurely
- Direct replacement—no modifications or adapters needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This pin is designed specifically for Ford 8N tractors from 1948 through 1952. Whether you’re using your 8N for hay work, cultivating, brush hogging, or just getting around the farm, this pin takes constant abuse from every bump and turn. The radius rod system on these tractors was built tough, but after 70-plus years, even the best parts need replacing.
Made to Last
TISCO makes this pin from quality steel that’s heat-treated for durability where it counts most. The smooth, ground finish prevents premature wear on the radius rod bushings, so you won’t be doing this job again anytime soon. It’s built to handle the loads and stresses these working tractors put on their front suspension components.
Installation Notes
This is usually a straightforward job, but penetrating oil is your friend if the old pin has been in there for decades. Support the front axle properly before driving out the worn pin. While you’re at it, check the radius rod bushings—if they’re worn, replace them at the same time to get the most out of your repair.
