Description
Overview:
This Bucket Bush 35x45x35mm is a heavy‐duty replacement sleeve for the bucket linkage on compact excavators such as the Caterpillar 302.5 and Takeuchi TB125. Manufactured from high‐strength steel for wear resistance, it supports the bucket pin and reduces friction at the pivot point. The precise sizing-35 mm internal diameter, 45 mm outer diameter, and 35 mm length-ensures a proper press fit into the boss while running smoothly on a 35 mm pin. An externally greased design helps deliver lubricant directly to the bearing surface to minimise wear in abrasive, high‐load conditions. Suitable for use at common bucket linkage positions (including positions 9 and 11), it restores tightness and accuracy in the joint, improving machine efficiency and extending service life in daily digging and loading work.
Key Features:
- 35 mm I.D. x 45 mm O.D. x 35 mm length for a precise, repeatable fit
- Designed to run on a 35 mm bucket pin for reliable alignment
- Externally greased to help maintain a lubricated bearing surface and reduce wear
- High‐strength steel construction for durability under shock loads and abrasive environments
- Smooth internal finish to aid low‐friction movement and consistent pin rotation
- Suitable for typical bucket linkage locations, including positions 9 and 11
- Press‐fit outer diameter for secure seating in the boss
- Helps remove bucket play, improving digging accuracy and pin/boss life
- Straightforward replacement during scheduled maintenance or pin/bush refresh
- Compatible with selected mini excavators in the 2.5‐tonne class
Typical Applications:
Used at the bucket, link, or dipper‐end pivots on mini diggers to support 35 mm pins. Ideal for routine refurbishments where joint play has developed, or after pin and boss repairs. Suits general construction, utilities, landscaping, and hire fleet maintenance where reliable bucket articulation is required.
