I installed a new axle pivot pin and bushing in my TO-20.
The bushing and pivot fit tight when it was off the tractor, but when I reinstalled the axle carrier, pin and center axle section last night, it seemed like there was too much movement between the pin and bushing: when you grab one end of the axle center section and move it back and forth, you can "wiggle" it a little, toward the front and rear of the tractor.
How much play, if any, is OK? I'll post a couple of pictures. (Sorry, no video, so you can't see anything moving.)
I do know that it's a lot tighter than it was before. (Here are a couple of "before" pictures.)
