Which way would you go?

The front axle pivot hole on my 9N is worn out.
I have a different axle off a 2N parts tractor that is in great shape.
Problem is the bolsters and pins are different.
The 9N takes the pin with a set screw like TOH makes.
The 2N has the flange to bolt the pin in.
Are they the same diameter? If they are the same diameter, should I order
the old style pin and put in it, or just change the whole front bolster?
I know I would have to change my doglegs if I change the bolster.
Anything else that I would have to change that I haven't thought of?

Now that I have it apart, they are the same diameter.
Here's what's left of the bushing in my 9N.

Looks pretty worn out Royse. I believe it needs a
new one for sure (lol). Hope all is well with
you,..give me a call sometime when you get a
chance.

The pins are the same diameter. The 2N bolster has a cutout in the radiator support for the flange and the 2N pin will be too short in a 9N bolster. Last I checked Don B has the 9N pins. You could replace the 9N bolster with the 2N bolster but then you would have issues with the dogleg attachment points.
