16-17LA Loaders

[paccorti]

Has anyone seen the 16-17LA parts diagram? Part #21 is labeled as a "spacer". Is that a replaceable bushing? Has anyone tried this part?

Thanks,

Peter

#21 appear to be replaceable bushings in the loader boom.

I'm curious how these parts would actually work. Unless you press fit them into the loader frame they could possibly spin (since the greased part of the pin would be only touching the inside part of #21).

They are pressed in.

They are pressed in.

Rick, would you say these are field installable? Can I use a drift punch to remove them and maybe a big c-clamp to press in new bushings? Or is this one of those things that I should just bite the bullet and take my loader in to the dealer to have done? My main bucket pivot at the bottom of my lift arms is getting pretty loose.

I would expect to cut them out with a bushing cutter or cape chisel, than drive the new bushings in with a bushing driver of the proper size (or suitable alternative), and a drilling hammer. A 'C' clamp would probably work if the thread on the lead screw weren't too coarse.

Well Rick, just from your description, I think my dealer's shop is likely to have all the right tools and experience. I'm just glad to see that the 16LA has replaceable bushings. I think a trip to my dealer's shop might be the best way for me to go. It's about time I took my tractor "home" for a visit anyhow.

Jim,

I'm in the same boat. I measured the bore on the main bucket pin and I got 1.3". The Pin seems to be 1.25" so I have .05" of play (almost 1/16" feels like more than it sounds like). Did you notice in the diagram that it says for some part number and later? My 16LA does not have replaceable bushings so I'm wondering how this would work. Do I bore it out to take the bushing? That seems dicey for me (at home) as you need precise alignment with the other loader bore (so that the bucket rotates around a common axis). When I was at the dealer the other day I priced these parts and I think they were ~$2.70 each.

Jim are you thinking of taking the plunge?

Opps the picture does not say that. When I looked on the NH part website it said that (for part #21).

Which bore did you measure?
How have you determined that your loader doesn't have replaceable bushings?
