Purchased an old dozer with bushings worn through on one side. Since they are worn through can they still be turned and is something I can do or should have done? Thanks.

When the bushings wear through , they no longer have the strength to withstand the pressures involved in pressing them apart and reinstalling with the good side out. They all will break apart when an attempt is made. It is definitely not a do-it-yourself project. Has to be done at a track repair shop. The amount of tooling and force required to disassemble and reassmble prohibits you from doing it.

if they are worn thru, you have lost quite a bit of strength, and have a spot for trash to enter and cause additional wear internal. i would imagine you have a lot of pin to bushing clearance, which will make thinks (sprocket) were out quicker from now on. Going thru all the labor to push everything apart, would not be worth it to reassemble for the short time you would gain on additional life. It will be expensive, but best in the long run to replace all new now. Compare the price of new pins and bushings to complete aftermarket chains. IF you plan to do it yourself, i hope it is a small tractor.

If they're worned through you would be better off making new one if you got a lathe. It would be a lot easier then welding up and returning.
