When this component shows signs of wear, scoring, or fatigue, replacement is essential to restore the machine's full scraping performance and protect the motor and drivetrain from cascading damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBartell's BULL and MULE floor scrapers rely on a direct-drive ram application to generate the high-cycle blade action that separates stubborn floor coverings from the substrate. The MULE operates at 3380 RPM with a 1.5 HP brushless motor, while the BULL delivers 2 HP at comparable cycle rates, both placing sustained mechanical demand on the connecting rod during extended stripping operations. Given these high operating speeds and the repetitive load cycles inherent to floor scraping, the connecting rod should be inspected for elongation, cracking, or journal wear whenever the machine is serviced for drivetrain noise, reduced ram force, or irregular blade stroke. Replace immediately if any deformation or bearing play is detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBULL Walk-Behind Floor Scraper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMULE Walk-Behind Floor Scraper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Bartell Global OEM part, sold by an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bartell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412795457584,"sku":"8727101604","price":976.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6574\/7248\/files\/8727101604.jpg?v=1784316648","url":"https:\/\/cce-industries.com\/products\/bartell-8727101604-connecting-rod-oem-replacement-part","provider":"CCE Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
