 Topic: 160 Ball Joint
Posted: 01 Mar 2025 at 2:20pm |
|
The ball joint on my 160 won't stay in the socket anymore. It looks like the ball joint is supposed to be a replaceable part, but I'm having a hard time finding it. Does anybody have a source for it? Thanks.

I’ve had good luck calling my AGCO dealer to find out if they are still available, if NLA they will search the dealer network to see if anyone has any and give me the phone number to call to purchase it. 160 parts are getting hard to find unfortunately but I have been lucky so far.

Not yet. Thanks to your and ACMan's advice, I called around to a couple of the AGCO dealers around. It took me a little bit to find one that was willing to help, but I talked to one today that is looking for the parts for me, so we will see how that goes.

 If the world only standardized such things as ball joints.
 Sometimes you can get lucky anyway.  In the early 2000's I needed one on the Knife drive of the Gleaner 1978 MH2. I had replaced one a week earlier on a 2 ton grain truck ( cannot remember if the 58 Ford, or the 60 Chevy ). The local auto parts had one in stock, and looked like it was the same size. They let me try it and fit very nicely.  So luck can be a real help some days.

Well I found a dealer that was willing to help me. It looks like a couple of the parts are still available, and they were able to find one of the other parts, but apparently they can't find the actual ball and pin part, or the ball cage, so I guess maybe I'll have to try to find a ball joint that has the same pin size that I can use.
