202 Davis Loader

BIG1RED9 · May 21, 2018

Hi everyone,

I have a MF 202 that has a Davis loader and backhoe. I want to replace all the bushings and pins on the loader. Any information on sizes and sources is appreciated.

Thanks.

There should be a tag on the loader that gives you the model number of it. MF uses different model numbers for tractors, front end loaders, and back hoe's.

pt,

I know the model numbers and I can look up the part numbers. The bushing part numbers don't provide any size info.

After a lot of searching, I was able to find OEM bushings and pins for the Davis loader. I was also able to find new OEM rubber pads for the front bracket to frame. When its all installed it will solve all the slop issues.

Bushings had little wear. Used a ball joint removal tool for the bushings. Took effort but worked well. Slop is coming from the lift arm on the frame pivot where the bolt goes through. I am going to increase the hole size to allow the installation of a bushing.

In case anyone should need the sizes.

The holes where the pivot pin on the arms goes through side frame were wallowed. The arm bushings were OK, just the frame was wallowed.

I decided that I was going to install bushings in the side frame which required drilling it out to larger size to fit the bushing and make it round. I used a step bit and a hand electric drill.

Based on the bolts length, I am making the bushings as wide as I can to provide a larger contact / support area. The bushing will be protruding and when I tighten it up, will force the new bushings in the frame to make contact with the bushing in the arm, with my hope being that the grease will pass through to the new bushings and it will provide enough support so as not to need welding.

If it turns out that I have to weld the bushings into the arms, then to service it I would have to grind the welds off.

Previously purchased new bushings and the special bolt for the arm pivot. I felt they had to much slop and discussed it with the machinist that has been making some parts for this last round of repairs.I added bushings into the arms and had new pins made. which removed the slop.

My machinist charges $70 an hour. The drill hog cost $10 and the bushings and pins cost $110

You did pretty well there. I walked out of a machine shop one day with what equated to less than a half a shoe box of parts and dropped around $600 if I remember correctly. I didn't think to tell him that I didn't need the parts to be the exact same as the originals....it was for the same type of loader.

I found a young fellow who started his shop a couple of years ago. He is really comfortable to work with and is very fair.
