Great pricing and fast shipping!
I'll admit that I was skeptical of propel parts, but they are an honest site and came through with the order. I was skeptical because I've never ordered heavy machinery parts, and didn't know who to trust. The parts that I ordered showed in stock, but after checking with their vendor, they only had half of the order in stock. I was notified the day after the order, and most of the parts arrived in a few days. There was one part that was not shipped putz but I was able to talk with who I assumed is the owner who rectified the situation and had the part overnighted to me.

I will say that communication speed could use a little work, but they will eventually get back with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 4J1888 pin used for?

The 4J1888 pin locates and connects components, transferring load while allowing the designed movement between parts. A sound pin keeps the linkage tight and accurate.

How do I install the 4J1888 pin?

A reliable installation of the 4J1888 starts with inspection and ends with verification. Follow this process:

  1. Shut the machine down and support the assembly before service
  2. Drive or press out the old pin and inspect the bores
  3. Clean and check the bores for wear or ovality
  4. Fit the 4J1888 with the correct orientation and retention
  5. Confirm the joint moves correctly and is properly secured
