Description
Overview:
The Lower Kingpost Pin is a non-genuine replacement part engineered for JCB mini excavators, including the 802 and 803 series. It replaces OEM reference 233/02205 and is used at the base of the kingpost (boom swing tower) to form a robust pivot point. Made from durable, precision-machined steel, it helps restore correct alignment and reduce play in the kingpost assembly, supporting smooth boom swing and stable operation. This pin is suitable for routine maintenance and repair of compact diggers working in construction, utilities, landscaping, and hire fleets. Designed to integrate with the existing kingpost assembly, it offers reliable service life under demanding site conditions and helps protect surrounding components by maintaining a proper fit within bushes and bores.
