Cotter PinThis cotter pin secures castle nuts and clevis pins on forklift linkages, transmissions, and steering systems against rotation or pull-out. Service techs install fresh cotters at every joint disassembly because reused pins lose spring temper after bending, and a sheared cotter under operating load can let a linkage joint separate. Sized assortments prevent shortcuts during repair. Sold as an aftermarket replacement, contact us to verify wire gauge, length, and material before ordering, since cotter pins of the same nominal size can vary in actual wire diameter, and substituting an undersized pin into a critical joint risks shearing under operating vibration.Aftermarket replacement part, cross-references original part number AC0302-30040.Need help confirming fit?
