Description
Overview:
Tipping Links for JCB 801 and Kubota KX36-3 mini excavators are heavy-duty linkage components used in the bucket/tipping assembly to maintain smooth, controlled movement of the dipper and bucket. Manufactured from robust steel and precision machined, they replace worn or damaged links to restore tight, accurate articulation under daily site use. These links are engineered to replace OEM No. 331/38954 and match key dimensions for reliable fitment and performance. Each link features a 30 mm hole at both ends and an approximate thickness of 25.5 mm to handle shock loads and repeated cycling. Supplied with matching bolt details (overall length 86 mm, threaded length 80 mm, diameter 9.5 mm), they are suitable for compact and mid-size excavators in landscaping, utilities, groundworks, and hire fleets.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement for OEM 331/38954 for straightforward maintenance
- Steel construction with precision-bored 30 mm eyes for consistent alignment
- Approx. 25.5 mm thickness for strength and long service life
- Bolt dimensions provided: 86 mm overall, 80 mm threaded, 9.5 mm diameter
- Helps remove play in the tipping mechanism and improves bucket control
- Suitable for frequent cycling and heavy-duty site conditions
- Compatible with selected JCB and Kubota compact excavators
- Simple to install with standard workshop tools
- Supports safe, predictable operation and reduces downtime
- Built to withstand abrasion, load reversals, and outdoor environments
Typical Applications:
Replacement of worn tipping/bucket links on mini and midi excavators working in groundworks, utilities, landscaping, demolition, and hire fleets. Ideal when excessive play, uneven bucket motion, or ovalled eyes are present. Suitable for routine refurbishments, pin-and-bush overhauls, and preventative maintenance to keep machines operating smoothly.
