730 front axle pivot pins

My 730 has the John Deere square adjustable front axle, and the front bushing is gone. I'm assuming that the pin or hole, maybe both are worn. Is there any place to buy these pins? The rear pin is worn some it measures 1.491" and should be between 1.494-1.495 according to the book.
Also one of the bolts that holds the front axle to the tractor had backed out, and over time has knocked a hole in the top of the square casting, I'm hoping this has not caused any other damage.
Thanks,
John
 
bushings are available from deere about 12 dollars each, pins are not and dont sub up to anything else according to my dealer, how ever when i typed in the rear pin number B2700R on ebay it brought up a listing for a T29205 and says that it will replace the B2700R. the T29205 is probably available from deere but i never checked. i didnt find an alternative for the front pin B2688R.

i just got done replacing the bushings in mine and to my surprise even though the rear bushing was wore all the way through the pin was still in great shape and the bore seemed round yet.

by your measurement i would reuse the pins if they only have 3 thousandths wear. id say get the bushings and see how they fit on the shafts, if you are still worried you could remove the pins with out damaging them and turn them a half a turn so the load side is on the no load side and vise versa.

probably should check the hole threads for that bolt that backed out while apart may have messed them up. i had to put a longer bolt in one of mine because the threads were pulled out of one of the holes in the frame.
 
Thanks, I was planning to rebush the rear pin. The front one is the one that might be a problem as it didn't have any remnants of the bushing left. I also need to get the adjustable axle loosened up as one side is out farther than the other. From what I've read this will be quite a job.
I'll just keep plugging away on it, seems like this tractor has had a rough life.
