Description

When you’re heading out for spring planting and your grain drill’s main arms start to move around loose instead of staying where they should, you know it’s time to check those pivot pins. This replacement pivot pin keeps the main opener arms positioned exactly where they need to be for consistent depth and proper seed placement. A worn pin means sloppy arm movement and uneven seeding—two things you definitely don’t want when establishing your crop.

What You’re Getting

Precision-sized 1.25 inch OD by 5.24 inch long pin for exact fit
Heat-treated steel construction that handles the stress of field work
Direct replacement for worn or damaged original pins
Maintains proper arm alignment for consistent seeding depth

Built for Real Farm Work

This pin fits the main arms on John Deere grain drills from the compact 1560 all the way up to the big 1990 models. Whether you’re planting soybeans with your 1590 or wheat with your 1890, these drills need tight pivot points to maintain proper opener spacing and depth control across varying field conditions.

Made to Last

Farm equipment pivot pins take a beating from constant movement, dust, and the stress of working uneven ground. This replacement uses quality steel that’s sized and heat-treated to handle the loads without stretching or wearing out of round. It’ll keep your drill arms moving smoothly season after season.

Good to Know

When you’re replacing pivot pins, it’s smart to check the bushings too—worn bushings will eat up new pins quickly. Apply grease to the pin during installation to reduce wear and keep things moving freely. If you’ve got multiple worn pins, replacing them all at once saves you from repeated trips to the parts counter.
