Last night I installed the upper and lower bolster bushings in the 44' H, new bearing, seals and re assembled with no problems. I must be living rite. After reading posts here about problems removing the bushings I had put off the job for a while, but since I want to complete this restoration in time for spring plowing and disking I decided to get to it. For the lower bolster bushing I was going to make a bushing puller but decided to try to knock it out first, I used a brass drift pin and a 2 lb ball peen and it tapped right out!! For the upper bolster bushing I used a 1" socket as a drift pin and knocked it out with little effort and no damage to the socket. While this was going on I had the bushings in the freezer cooling off. I took a butane torch and heated up the upper bolster, just got it nice and warm, coated it with oil and using a pice of wood block and that trusty ball peen droped it into place. Did the same with the lower making sure to align the greese hole and it went right into place. I put the bearing, seal and dust cap on and bolted the steering link back into place with no trouble at all. It felt great to have everytheng go back together smoothly and on the first try. Working on Dad's old H is kind of like taking a break, even though I leave the shop exausted and usually bloody. I get a sense of accomplishment, not exactly therapy, but to me a great way step away from everyday obligations and work on something for the joy of seeing it done. Next, front wheel bearings, races and seals. wish me luck. Jon
