I'll take look at the Technical repair manual for possible specs on the pin. The Original owner would have had a good excuse for never greasing those pins... The zerks are ground to a nubbin'!
Osage orange cranium...?
Thanks, I'd be curious to see how far out of spec it is...yeah they really didn't grease a lot on this tractor, which is pretty disappointing. I'm going through the process of cleaning, re-greasing, and replacing zirc fittings throughout.
If the greaser was responsible, then would have replaced the zerks so they'd take grease, not use them being ground away as an excuse to skip..
just sayin....
Yeah, I'd like to have a little chat with the jerk PO!
Mine is also loose. They are not servicable, Yet.
I am making a new pin boss that will accept bushings.
I bought a new pin, $100.00.
Once machined i will replace the current one. Actually not a big job for me.
John Deere bushings are way too much money.
I meed to find someplace to buy reasonable bushings.
Please do post some photos when you do, I'm sure many have this same issue. Have you checked out Mcmaster Carr for replaceable bushings? They have a pretty huge inventory.
Does anyone know how much play is acceptable?
