Rod,

I had an electric motor repair shop fab a bushing to spec out of 316 stainless steel. (Friend of mine - no charge). I also took my carriage assembly to him and he is to weld the inside diameter of the pivot pin holes and then put the assembly in a machine and bore the holes to spec. He also said he could metalize the pin and then turn it down on a lathe to spec. (metalizing is a method of spraying metal onto electric motor shafts to bring them back up to the correct size. Welding usually damages small shafts. I had the front spindles metalized and then turned back to spec.

Hope this helps.

Danny

rod: the bushing in my manual and the ford manual are the same. there is only one required. the pin should be tight in the front and back holes of the axle support. rather than drilling for a bolt, just weld the pin in.

Rod, You can make your own new pin and bushing if you have the material and access to a lathe and welder and drill press. I would think that you should make the pin and bushing out of high carbon steel. Something that is kinda tough and resists wear better than mild steel. A piece from an old truck axle would be fine for the pin. The flange on front could be made from mild steel plate. I'd buy the new bushing and weld up the old pin if it's okay otherwise. Use low hydrogen rod (7018 or 8018) to build it up and grind or belt sand down to fit (with new bushing in place in axle housing).
If your not gonna use a front mounted pump on it, you could plug up back of pin and front of pin and cross drill pin and put a zerk fitting (grease fitting)on the front of pin and be able to keep it lubricated. Go ahead Rod and be the first. They used to have a grease fitting on some of them, it was right under the fan blade. L8R----Fred

i just redid mine. get your bushing from ford/new holland. its an identical part, and much cheaper. i paid $8.42 incl gst & pst. as for the pin, i went to the local franchise of metal supermarkets and bought a piece of 1 3/4" dia. 3/16" wall tubing.($5.00 cash...the guys wanted tim hortons coffee) i just tack welded the new pin in place as i won't be replacing it. if the first one lasted 49 years, i figure i won't be turning wrenches when this one needs to be replaced. also, the I&T manual says to pry the pin out of the support. i had to remove the whole support and beat the pin out. if you have any more questions, email me or post it. teadave

Thanks dave I got the pin out it is ok the bushing looked like a piece of copper or brass. The local massey dealer says it takes two flange bushings 14.00 plus tax, mine also was bronzed in front by the crank hole and tack welded to the support at the back by the engine. Is there supposed to be a bushing on that part or just on the axle itself there was only one bushing in the axle.

regards

rod
