Back hoe bucket loose , (pins / bushings )

MotorheadTX · Apr 22, 2016

OK, Im marching right along with my MF 40B TLB rejuvenation. I haveM40 B tractor, MF 54A Back hoe and MF 34A Loader. Thanks to you guys, I got the correct fluid in her and found a few leaking cylinders. 2 on Loader , 2 on backhoe . Got those rebuilt and now shes doing everything that she is supposed to do

Next project is the loader bucket is loose at pins. On closer inspection, I have found the remnants of some bushings that are just worn though on one side or missing. My question is are these loader pins w "wear sleeves" original design or did previous owner install some pin bushings to keep this thing tight for awhile? Does anyone have a source for these bushings or suggestions on cutting down some stock to make these bushings? None of my other loaders have replaceable sleeves or bushings although it seems like a good idea.

Thanks!

Some makers do have bushes in the bucket hanger bosses as well as having them in the frame,those are what could be called floating pins and are kept in using snap rings,the pin can turn in both the bucket and frame,the more conventional type has a locking bolt going through the boss and pin,that type insures that the bucket cannot turn on the pin and cause wear,the pin will turn with the bucket in the bushes in the frame,the bushes are made from hardened steel and when hammering them in or out eye protection is a good idea.

Any idea where to get Bushes and or pin kits for an Massey M 34 A loader?

Here are the part numbers and measurements for M34A loader. I sent this list of part numbers and measurements to Connex bushings and they replied that these measurements were odd and perhaps the ODs were taken in relaxed state... does anybody have an opinion? Or better yet a source for these parts?

Need to know if you can supply the following bushings for a MF loader. Do you sell pins also?
