I used 1" x 3/8" wall DOM tubing when I built the pin on style quick attach for the loader on my tractor. I had to take a die grinder with a burr bit to clearance the tubing to get a 1" pin to slide through it. Obviously this is not a precision way to do this although it did work. I have been looking for a hand reamer to do this and the closest one that I could find is a 1-1/16". This reamer would make the pin to bushing clearance 0.0156. My feeble mind tells me that this is too large and that the clearance should be closer to 0.006.
Does anyone know what a good clearance fit between a pin and bushing should be? And more importantly, where in the Sam Hill do I find a hand reamer ? I'm toying around with the idea to build my own backhoe and it sure would be nice to have a faster and more precision way to ream a bunch of bushings. Thanks for your time.
