Description
Overview:
The Position 9 & 11 bucket bush is a precision-machined wear component for the bucket linkage on Kubota mini excavators, built to restore smooth, accurate movement at the pivot points. Made from hardened steel and designed with internal greasing to maintain lubrication, it reduces friction and slows wear between the bucket pin and the boss. This bush is engineered to fit the Kubota U25-3 (also noted as U253) and is commonly used at the positions marked 9 and 11 on bucket assembly diagrams. Key dimensions are 30 mm inner diameter, 45 mm outer diameter, and 45 mm length, supporting a reliable press-fit in the housing while providing the correct running surface for a 30 mm pin. Ideal for workshop maintenance or field repairs.
Key Features:
- Hardened steel construction for excellent wear resistance and service life
- Internal grease channels to keep the pin/bush interface lubricated and reduce friction
- Precision tolerances for consistent press-fit and smooth pin rotation
- Helps remove play and knocking in the bucket linkage, improving accuracy and control
- Dimensions: 30 mm ID x 45 mm OD x 45 mm length for correct fitment on the U25-3
- Suited to bucket linkage locations commonly listed as positions 9 and 11 on parts diagrams
- Stable performance under tough site conditions including digging, grading, and trenching
- Straightforward to install using standard pressing tools; easy to re-grease in service
- Supports longer pin and linkage life when paired with correct greasing and seals
Typical Applications:
Used at bucket pivot points on mini excavators to restore tightness and smooth movement after wear. Suitable for routine pin-and-bush replacements, repairs following excessive play, and preventative maintenance in construction, utilities, landscaping, and plant hire fleets.
