Description
Overview:
This genuine Kubota bush (part no. 68721-66522) is a precision-machined sleeve used at pivot points on Kubota mini excavators to control wear and keep pins running true. Manufactured from hardened steel for strength and longevity, it helps reduce friction, absorb impact loads, and protect the host bore from damage during everyday digging, grading, and lifting work. It is designed for an accurate press-fit and smooth operation in Kubota KX41-2 and U17 machines, maintaining tight linkage tolerances and dependable performance. Suitable for routine servicing or full pin-and-bush refreshes, this OEM component supports consistent movement of boom, dipper, bucket, and blade linkages, helping extend the service life of surrounding parts. Genuine Kubota quality ensures reliable compatibility and performance in demanding site conditions.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kubota OEM bush for assured compatibility and fit
- Hardened steel construction for high wear resistance and long service life
- Precision tolerances help maintain correct pin alignment and reduce play
- Supports smooth linkage movement and protects bores from premature wear
- Reliable performance under shock loads typical of excavation and grading
- Straightforward press-in installation with standard workshop tools
- Ideal for preventative maintenance and overhaul schedules to minimise downtime
- Helps maintain machine accuracy, reducing knock and vibration in pivot points
Typical Applications:
Used at pivot points on mini excavators to restore tight clearances between pins and bosses, especially on boom, dipper (arm), bucket, and dozer blade linkages. Suitable for workshop rebuilds, scheduled servicing, and wear repairs on compact plant working in construction, utilities, landscaping, and hire fleets. Helps keep machines operating smoothly and reduces cumulative wear on pins and housings.
