Hi,
I need to replace the King Pins and Bushings on my 1971 Ford 4500. I saw a post on this site and I saw a note on the Amazon site about using
the Moog 8459B kit as a less expensive option to the DEPN3115A kit.
Has anyone else tried using the Moog 8459B kit on a Ford tractor and did it work without any problems or modifications?
On the Amazon site it noted the following comment for the DEPN3115A kit:
You can order the MOOG 8459B kit for about half the price and it contains everything for BOTH pins. (2 pins, 2 bearings, 4 O-rings, 4 sleeves,
both lock bolts) Plus shims, just not the zerk fittings. My tractor is a 1964 ford 4140 industrial, and the MOOG kit fit perfectly. You can research it
yourself: download the Spicer heavy axle catalog and look up kit # KPK1017. It is for a 1957-62 B500/B600 trucks with the 5000# front axle.
The pin sizes are 1.129" x 7.67". The sleeves come undersized, just like this kit, and must be reamed to fit.
