Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this part compatible with Category 2 linkages?

No, this is specifically engineered for Category 1 agricultural linkage systems.

Can this be bolted on instead of welded?

No, this component is designed as a 'weld-on' part and requires welding to maintain structural safety.

Does the product arrive painted?

No, it comes in a 'self-colour' finish, which is bare metal ready for your own custom coating.

What is the pin hole diameter?

The component features a 22mm dimension (G) at the ball end opening.

What welding rod should I use?

Use a standard structural steel welding rod or wire (e.g., E7018) suitable for the thickness of the machinery steel you are attaching to.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty fitting the ball end to the lift arm

Verify that your arm diameter matches the mounting surface of the SFAGS1338 and ensure no burrs or slag are interfering with the seating.

Surface rust appearing on the unit

Clean the surface with a wire brush to remove oxidation and apply an automotive or agricultural-grade protective paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength build quality for heavy-duty lifting.
  • Precise dimensions for easy integration with existing Category 1 hardware.
  • Permanent weld-on attachment eliminates hardware loosening issues.
  • Ideal for custom fabrication or repairing worn lifting linkage ends.

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade welding equipment and expertise.
  • Self-colour finish may be prone to rust if not painted or coated post-installation.
  • Not suitable for Category 2 or 3 linkage systems.
  • Installation is irreversible once welded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

  1. Prepare the contact surface by grinding away paint or rust until bare metal is exposed.
  2. Position the SFAGS1338, ensuring the alignment matches the existing linkage geometry.
  3. Tack weld in multiple locations to secure the alignment before completing the final bead.
  4. Apply a full-penetration weld around the base for maximum load-bearing strength.
  5. Allow the metal to cool slowly to avoid stress fractures.

Compatibility:

This product is strictly compatible with Category 1 agricultural linkage systems. Ensure your machine specifications align with the 22mm pin diameter requirements of this category.

Care:

Because the part is supplied with a self-colour finish, it is susceptible to corrosion. After welding, it is recommended to clean the weld site and apply a high-quality anti-rust primer and enamel paint to protect the metal from outdoor elements.
