Hi,
I have a boom mounted flail mower. (Made by Beaver in UK ....now out of business). Due to poor maintenance in the past, some of the hinge joints have worn and are loose. Each hinge consists of an outer C section and an inner box section. (just like on a backhoe). The hinge is formed by a pin passed through bushes welded to the outer C section and a tube in the inner box section. I have the necessary welding skills and can easily find replacement pins, does anyone know where to get the "top hat" style bushes that are welded into the sides of the C channel sections, and also what type of pipe to use to replace the tube through the inner box section. I could use washers and DOM tubing but will this be hard enough to limit wear?
