Description
Overview:
The Bush (Pos 5, 8, 9, 11) is a non-genuine replacement bushing for Bobcat X325 and X328 mini excavators. It is a wear-resistant metal sleeve that supports the machine's pins at key pivot points, helping to keep linkages tight and movement smooth. By restoring correct clearances, it reduces play, vibration, and accelerated wear on pins and housings. Sized for use with 45 mm outer diameter pins, it is suited to routine maintenance and overhauls where bushings have worn oval or loose. This bush is intended for professional users and DIY owners alike who want reliable performance from their compact excavator without the cost of a genuine part. Positions 5, 8, 9, and 11 refer to typical locations in the Bobcat parts diagram for these models.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine part offering a cost-effective alternative to OEM while maintaining dependable performance
- Compatible with 45 mm O/D pins; if your machine uses 40 mm pins, select the correct 40 mm bush (e.g. part number 202 2025)
- Wear-resistant metal construction to handle shock loads and repetitive articulation
- Helps restore tight pivots, reducing play and protecting pins and bores from further damage
- Machined to consistent tolerances for reliable fit in the host bore and smooth pin rotation
- Suitable for common pivot points such as boom, dipper (arm), bucket linkage, and related joints
- Straightforward to fit by competent users using standard workshop tools and correct drivers or a press
- Supports longer service life of pins and linkages when paired with proper lubrication and routine inspection
- Ideal for scheduled maintenance or as part of a pin-and-bush overhaul on ageing machines
- Clearly referenced for positions 5, 8, 9, and 11 to aid identification during assembly
Typical Applications:
Used at key pivot joints on mini excavators, including boom-to-dipper, dipper-to-bucket, bucket link, and related linkage points. Suitable for construction, utilities, landscaping, and plant hire fleets where minimising downtime and preserving tight, accurate digging performance is important.
