Looking parts source (used or other) ; in particular looking to replace articulation joints(2) consisting of ball and cup for the 345B.
If you're looking for the bushes, they are known as spherical bushes. A good bearing shop should be able to help. Photos would help to confirm.
The part number is 71004343 or 1004343. They are a bit pricey at Minnpar. Here is a copy of the parts book. https://www.tractorparts.com/PDFs/FIAT_345B_WHEEL_LOADER_55S-01001_76L-01801-UP.PDF
Thank you so very much. Spherical bushing seems a must appropriate name; One piece is a portion of a sphere and the other a ballcup. Allis Chalmers used that design on loader arm cylinders as well. Sorry about no photos; don't have one out yet. ( have 3 of these that are still runners and one parts machine) Jim Halsey PS: will try to update you on repair progress.
Thank you for a most helpful technical reply. Some how a parts manual was never obtained(have the repair manual) relying on the dealer (E F Craven Co) most likely. I shall do my best to download your reference for a future project. Be sure you have helped a poor man today as I have 3 F/A345B's still running and 1 for parts. Thank you again.
In the mid 70's I spent alot of time operating an Allis Chalmers 545, it had 9000hrs on the metre still with all it's original pins and bushes though the steering pivot pins and bushes needed attention. It was a great little loader, could almost final trim road subframe with it
