Backhoe boom foot pin bushing 808/00385 JCB, brass, aftermarket

Backhoe boom foot pin bushing 808/00385 is an aftermarket bushing for the backhoe boom foot pin on JCB 3CX, 4CX, 5CX backhoe loaders: bore 60 mm, outside diameter 70 mm, length 62 mm. The card also lists 332/G0941. Material: brass.

Bushings take shock loads during digging and loading and need regular greasing. If the grease channel blocks or sand gets into the joint, the bushing ovalises quickly, and as play grows the pin and lug are damaged too. So a worn bushing is checked together with its pin, and both are replaced when needed.

Specifications

Compatibility and selection

Select the bushing by part number 808/00385; the dimensions are in the table. Measuring the bore and outside diameter of the old bushing makes selection easier. Other bushings are in JCB CX series bushings.

Fitting

Remove the old bushing with a puller or careful heating, then clean and measure the bore. Press the new bushing in square to its axis; if it has a grease hole, line it up with the channel in the lug. Then fit the pin and grease the joint; a worn pin can be chosen from the JCB CX pins.
