If you own a chinese backhoe and use it very much, you know how fast the plastic bushings wear out. They do not even install grease zerks (at least on mine). After talking with 2 machine shops and getting quotes of about 400 to 600 bucks for new bushings made of steel and adding zerks, I decided to buy a 3 and 1 machine for 599.00 plus some tooling, 1000 dollars total and make my own. Two sets would more than pay for my investment and the machine can also be used in my woodworking business Bears Wood Shop . The little machine has its limits, but really does a good job. It makes tractor fixin fun. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
