Ditto to Marlowe's comments. I could not afford the hardened pins. I use mild steel. Have a friend that has lathe that turned them down for me. I doubt I will where them out as the backhoe is rarely used anymore.

Also if just a little slop in the boom bucket is it really that critical? In my experience I have found for most of my dirt work it is not critical. Now that said, if I was working paid construction I would be more concerned about overswing and the like due to potential hazards; people, phone lines, water mains etc.

As to reboring or relining I would take it in to have that work done due to critical nature and stress on the steel. All I did was replace worn pins on a MF 50C TLB for general farm work i.e. stump removal, drainage ditches, swales etc.
FWIW
