Description
Overview:
The Position 8 Link Pin is a heavy-duty steel pin used in the working linkages of Kubota mini diggers and excavators, keeping joints aligned and moving smoothly under load. It is designed for reliable service in the bucket, dipper and auxiliary linkages of compact machines such as the Kubota U15-3 and U17-3. The pin measures 180 mm (7.09 inches) in length with a 30 mm (1.18 inches) diameter, providing a stable, accurate fit in matching bores and bushes. A protective finish helps resist wear and corrosion in site conditions. Use it as a like-for-like replacement to restore tightness in worn joints and to maintain correct geometry, reducing play and uneven wear across the linkage. Suitable for Kubota mini excavators across several series.
Key Features:
- Durable steel construction for sustained load-bearing performance in earthmoving and landscaping work
- Precision-made 30 mm (1.18 inches) diameter for a snug, repeatable fit in compatible Kubota linkages
- Overall length 180 mm (7.09 inches), matching common Position 8 dimensions on listed models
- Protective surface finish to help resist rust and abrasion in wet and gritty environments
- Helps restore tight joint clearances, improving control and reducing knocking and uneven wear
- Smooth shank for consistent movement through bushes when correctly lubricated
- Suitable for direct replacement during planned maintenance or on-site repairs
- Designed for mini diggers and excavators where compact, robust linkage components are required
- Supports reliable operation of buckets, quick hitches and other front-end attachments
- Straightforward fit for competent users with basic workshop tools
Typical Applications:
Used in bucket and dipper linkages on mini excavators to secure moving joints, maintain correct alignment and transfer force safely. Ideal for replacing worn or bent pins during routine servicing, machine overhauls, or quick repairs on construction, utilities, landscaping and plant hire jobs. Suitable for machines operating with standard buckets and compatible attachments.
Also known as:
Connector pin, pivot pin, joint pin, linkage pin, bucket link pin, excavator link pin. Common terms vary by workshop, but all refer to the same type of pin used to connect moving parts within the machine's linkage system.
