Description
Overview:
This Position 8 Link Pin is a heavy‐duty steel pivot pin for the Kubota KX61-3 and KX61 mini excavators. It connects linkage components so the joint can pivot smoothly under load, helping to keep the digging geometry tight and the machine responsive. Sized for the stated models and identified as MPN 202 534, it suits demanding site conditions. The pin measures 170 mm in length (6.7 inches) with a 35 mm working diameter (1.38 inches), and includes an M12 thread to accept the appropriate retaining hardware as specified by your machine setup. Used at the "Position 8" location in the linkage group, it is a practical service replacement that helps reduce play, protect bushes, and restore precise movement in the working end of the excavator.
Key Features:
- Durable steel construction for reliable service life in tough digging conditions
- Precision 35 mm diameter (1.38 inches) for smooth rotation in matching bushes

Typical Applications:
Replacing a worn, bent, or seized pin in the bucket/dipper linkage on Kubota mini excavators. Useful during routine bush and pin overhauls to remove slack, improve control, and reduce further wear on mating components. Suitable for machines working in construction, utilities, landscaping, and plant hire where frequent coupling and heavy loading demand a dependable linkage pivot.
Also known as:
Often referred to as an articulation pin, knuckle pin, hinge pin, bucket link shaft, dipper link shaft, or joint shaft in excavator linkage assemblies. These terms describe the same type of pivot component used to connect moving members and allow controlled rotation under load within the front‐end working gear.
