After taking apart the old pin and bushing... they wer completely shot. Will two bushings really hold out or will only one do with light work??? Robert Goodfellow Montreal.

i am currently repairing the same parts, and i am having a full length bushing made. I also made my own pin from a peice of hardened shaft and drilled it for a grease fitting. hoping to never have to repair it for a long time.

ps. having access to cheap machine shop work helps too.

If I was going to replace the pivot pin bushing on one of the US built MF35 I would use two bushings while I had it apart it will definitely last a lot longer with two in it.

Hi folks -

I've done as Big dean suggests on mine, and our UK units are the same as the US models in that department.

In addition to the second bushing, I put a grease fitting in the top of the axle feeding in between the bushings. Had to cut the fan shroud on some to get at the fitting with a grease gun.

I'm now not sure if that's practical - seeing as the originals lasted 30 to 50 years, and the cost is only $50 or so to fix.... But it made me feel better, and took the squeak out of one of them!

I've always understood that this joint should be dry, as grease here attracts dirt which wears the joint faster than if it had no grease to start with. If you have fitted a grease point grease daily to keep dirt squeezed out....

The IT manual suggests graphite as a lubricant!, I own a sawmill and lubricated our planner tables (steel) today with spray on dry graphite , and the results were unbelievable. With dust in the mill all the time my german mechanic swears by Graphite( Worth Brand) Thanks for the info , I will put two bushings... Robert Goodfellow. Montreal
