I've got an ancient JD 400 backhoe that has seen it's share of use and abuse. Most all the bores for the front and rear buckets are egged out pretty bad... and I was pondering the following.. (short story begins here) When I was just out of high school I was working as a gopher for some old time millwrights.. I watched them pour in-place babbit bearings on sawmill shafts.. The only tools needed were a budd tip, a babbit pot and some special clay for forming a dam around the shaft & bearing... Well.. I was wondering if I couldn't use the same method to 'tighten' up the old backhoe... Use good 4X knife babbit and use it to restore the fit... Yes, I know it wouldn't really be proper for a production machine.. but this is just an old farmstead machine now.. Has anyone else tried this ? Success ? Failure ?
Wasting my time ?
Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks.. bbott
