Ball Joints
Ever try to move a ball joint but it’s too stiff … or too loose? The wide range rotational torque values can be attributed to tolerance stack up.
Tractors and combines, along with hay balers and harvesters, have many moving parts that are made possible with bearings and ball joints. To maintain these heavy-duty machines under optimal performance conditions, special attention to bearing lubrication is necessary.
