Since the roller pin is flush with the surface of each bushing, they won't interfere with the I match. Each implement will need a set of bushings/roller pins and they stay permanently with the implement. JD dealer or farm store (TSC) should have extra bushings for sale. About $25 per set.
Don't quote me, but the roller pins are about 7/16" diameter and 1.5" in length. The length of the roller pin is the same diameter of the bushings.

That makes complete sense. I understand totally what you mean about the roller pins . . and that's what I expected for my $30 a set!! In Canada, TSC only has basic bushings. Not like you describe. And my JD dealer has no idea what I'm talking about.
So the bushings you're describing are quite wide (like in the link) and have a shoulder as well? Or is the shoulder not necessary? It's strange . . 1 set of the simple/narrow bushings was zip tied and wrapped on the imatch when delivered to the dealer. So JD canada is a bit out to lunch, it seems.
I hope he comes back with a new part number . .because as it stands . .i'm stuck.
