Description
Overview:
The Pin Position 12 Lower (King Post) is a heavy-duty replacement pin for the Takeuchi TB108 mini excavator. Made from strong steel, it supports the lower pivot point of the king post, helping to keep the boom assembly aligned and moving smoothly under load. A correct, tight-fitting pin reduces play and wear across the joint, improving accuracy and extending the service life of surrounding components. This pin is a direct-fit part for the TB108 and is suited to routine maintenance or corrective repairs when the original pin is worn, bent, or corroded. For best results, pair with the matching bush (compatible with Bush Part No. 80165) to restore correct clearances and stable operation on site or in the workshop.
