Description
When your tractor starts getting loose in the steering or you hear clunking sounds from the front axle, that king pin socket might be the culprit. This socket works with the king pin as the pivot point that lets your front wheels turn while supporting the entire weight of the front axle assembly. Whether you’re running a loaded front-end loader, making tight turns at headlands, or hauling down the road, these components take tremendous forces from every direction.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined socket that pairs perfectly with the king pin for smooth steering operation
- Critical tolerances maintained so your steering stays tight and prevents premature wear
- Durable construction designed to handle the constant pivoting and heavy loads of farm work
- Direct replacement part that restores your front axle to factory specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This socket fits John Deere tractors across multiple series—from the compact 310 in the 300 series to the utility 3400, plus the popular 6000 series models like the 6800 and 6900, and the 6020 series including 6020, 6820, and 6920 models. These are the tractors doing everything from loader work around the farmyard to heavy field operations and road transport.
Made to Last
Farm equipment doesn’t get babied, and steering components take some of the worst abuse. This socket features quality construction that’s built to handle the constant stress of agricultural operations. When sockets fail, dirt enters the joint and rapidly destroys king pins and bushings that cost hundreds to replace.
Installation Notes
King pin socket replacement requires proper front axle support and usually means the king pin and bushings need attention too—worn sockets and worn pins go hand in hand. Always inspect king pins and bushings for wear during service since replacing everything at once saves you from doing the job twice.
