Description
Overview:
The Position 8 Link Pin is a heavy-duty replacement pin for Takeuchi mini diggers and excavators, designed to maintain tight, reliable joints in the working linkage. Manufactured from high-strength steel with a smooth, precision-ground shank, it withstands shock loads and abrasive conditions found on site. This pin connects key linkage components to keep buckets and arms moving accurately with minimal play. It is suitable for Takeuchi TB014 and TB015 machines, and other models in the same series, where a Position 8 link pin is specified. Key dimensions are 170 mm (6.7 inches) in length and 30 mm (1.18 inches) in diameter for correct fit and alignment. Supplied to match MPN 202 523, it is a practical choice for routine maintenance or replacing a worn or bent pin.
Key Features:
- Precision diameter 30 mm (1.18 inches) and length 170 mm (6.7 inches) for correct fit and function
- High-strength steel construction for durability under repeated impact and side loading
- Smooth, ground shank helps reduce bush wear and maintain tight linkage tolerances
- Cross-hole at the end to accept a retaining clip or fastener for secure installation
- Chamfered ends to aid alignment and easier insertion during fitting
- Corrosion-resistant finish to help protect against rust in outdoor use
- Direct replacement for the specified "Position 8" link pin in the linkage assembly
- Helps restore accurate bucket and linkage movement, reducing play and vibration
- Suitable for daily site work, including trenching, grading, and lifting tasks
- Referenced as MPN 202 523 for easy identification and ordering
Typical Applications:
Used to connect bucket linkages, dipper arm links, and similar pivot points on compact excavators. Ideal when refurbishing worn joints, changing bushes, or addressing excessive play. Helps maintain smooth articulation, accurate control, and safer operation on groundwork, landscaping, utilities installation, and general construction tasks.
