Description

When your hydraulic control lever starts feeling loose or won’t stay put in position, chances are the pivot bolt has worn out. This little steel pin is what your control handle pivots on every time you raise your three-point hitch, operate your loader, or engage your remotes. It might be a small part, but when it’s worn or missing, operating your hydraulics becomes sloppy and unpredictable – not something you want when you’re trying to position a hay fork or level a field.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined steel construction handles constant movement and hydraulic system vibration
Exact replacement dimensions ensure proper fit and smooth lever operation
Heat-treated surface resists wear from daily use and weather exposure
Direct replacement – no modifications or special tools needed for installation

Built for Real Farm Work

This pivot bolt fits a wide range of Ford tractors including the 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 series models that have been the backbone of American farming for decades. Whether you’re running a compact utility tractor for chores around the farm or operating a larger model for serious field work, this is the same pivot design that’s been keeping Ford hydraulics working smoothly since the 1960s.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and hydraulic controls get worked hard every day. This pivot bolt is built from quality steel and properly heat-treated to handle the constant stress of lever operation. The smooth finish prevents binding and wear, while the precise machining ensures your control lever moves smoothly and stays tight where you position it.

Good to Know

Replacing this pivot bolt usually takes about fifteen minutes with basic hand tools. A drop of penetrating oil on the lever pivot before installing the new bolt ensures smooth operation. While you’ve got the lever apart, it’s a good time to check the condition of any return springs or clips – they often wear out at the same time as the pivot bolt.
