Bucket pin maintenance explained

Grease is cheap, compared to the costs of downtime and parts. So don’t be afraid to use it.

If your bucket pins and bushes are worn or have sideways movement they need some attention. Whether it be some simple shimming adjustment or pin and bush replacement which can get to be a costly job depending on parts and if line-boring is required.
Using the correct grade grease is very important to help keeping you work equipment pins & bushes with minimal friction and therefore prolonging the working life of those parts and lowering the cost of repairs required.
 
Keeping Dirt out of the grease with correct shimming and keeping your grease seals in good working order will limit the grease turning into a grinding paste and running your friction points dry causing metal to metal contact.
