Description

When your front wheels start wandering or you hear clunking from the front end, it’s often the king pin socket that’s worn out. This critical component forms the bearing surface where your king pin pivots, handling all the steering forces and front axle loads. A worn socket creates slop in your steering and can damage the expensive king pin itself if you let it go too long.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined socket that restores tight, responsive steering
Heavy-duty construction built to handle MFWD system loads and forces
Direct replacement that fits John Deere MFWD front axle assemblies
Smooth bearing surface that prevents premature king pin wear
Quality materials that resist the constant pivoting and stress of farm work

Built for Real Farm Work

This socket works in John Deere tractors with mechanical front wheel drive systems. Whether you’re running a mid-size utility tractor with a loader, working field cultivators with a row-crop machine, or hauling implements down the road, the MFWD system depends on tight king pin sockets for safe steering and proper front axle operation.

Made to Last

Front axle components take tremendous abuse from loader work, rough fields, and constant steering input. This socket features precision bore dimensions and heat-treated construction that maintains proper clearances even under heavy loads. The smooth finish prevents galling and extends both socket and king pin life.

Installation Notes

Replacing king pin sockets requires front axle disassembly and proper support equipment. While you’ve got things apart, inspect the king pins and bushings since worn sockets usually mean other components need attention too. Clean all grease passages thoroughly and use quality grease during reassembly.
