Common questions
What equipment does this bushing fit?
Specific machine fitment is not listed for this part. Check your DEVELON parts catalog or dealer records for part number 131004-00344 against your machine model and serial number to confirm it is the correct bushing.
What does carburizing do for a bushing?
Carburizing adds carbon to the surface of the steel before heat treatment, giving the bushing a hard, wear-resistant outer layer while keeping the core less brittle.
How do I know a bushing needs replacing?
Common signs are excess play or clunking at the joint, uneven or egg-shaped wear in the bushing bore, and noise or movement under load. Replacing a worn bushing early helps prevent damage to the pin and the housing bore.
