This Teflon bushing acts as a low-friction bearing surface between two moving components, typically in the header or cab linkage of a forage harvester or mower. It reduces wear at the pivot point by providing a self-lubricating interface that resists contamination from dust and moisture. A worn bushing allows play in the linkage, which leads to misalignment and accelerated wear of the connected pins or shafts. The manufacturer machines this bushing to match the original housing bore, so the clearance between the bushing and its mating pin is preserved without additional shimming. On installation, ensure the bore is clean and free of burrs to prevent the bushing from distorting when pressed into place.
