I have an old ford backhoe that needs some line boreing work since the last owner wore right through the bushings. Wat is the going rate and has anyone found a place to rent the machines to DIY, or has anyone ever built there own?

Depending on your welding skills you might be able to replace the boss if you weld in some proportionately heavy wall tube bored to fit the pin or fitted for hardened bushings that fit the pin is better.

Vince, I had the same problem with my dozer lift arms.
I brought it to a guy who welded the holes shut.
He then ground it all down and bored new holes.
I paid 200.00 for two holes that where 1 1/2".
I thought that was a bit much, but he said that the metal gets peened and is almost impossible to work with. Compared to 2000.00 for 1 arm, I feel I got my monies worth.

Line boring is NOT a DIY job! To do it correctly you need some very expensive equipment, training and a lot of experience. Beware of line honning machines being passed off as line boring there is a difference. Honning will follow the holes where a line boring machine will make its own path. I have made a line boring machine (at a customers request) run by a drill, I told him before hand that it would not work but it was his idea and of course he finally went to a shop which had the right equipment and paid to have it done right. The moral is you always have the time to do it right the second time! Neal
