Turns out you have to hone out the bushings to fit the wrist pins. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

OOPS.

Mornin Eddie,
I was running your last sentence off in my head before I even read your sentence /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Not too much harm done, and your learning some valuable lessons to boot /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie..........read my previous post about the wrist pin bushings having to be honed to size. No harm done, git another bushing. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

DARN!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice, guess it's up to me to pay attention!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

It was supposed to be here today, but the guy in Atlanta sent it out wrong.

I'm back in limbo waiting for parts, which really means, I'm back to cleaning up my boxes of stuff from when I moved here. Not my idea of fun, but I do have allot more room and have found some things I forgot I had, and found allot of things I need to burn!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Please be patient with me, I'll get it figured out with all your help, it's just a little frustraiting is all. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I lubed them first, then carved a piece of oak to get it in. That worked ok with a bit of effort. Then I tried to assemble the pistons and wrist pins. No luck.

The wrist pin would not fit into the bushing. I tried a little persuading with a hammer, and ruind the bushing!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Piece of oak? to tap them in I guess. Don't get this. Very strange on the rod bushings. In the hundreds of engines I've rebuilt I've never ever had a problem with the wrist pins and rod bushing. Usually it's a little work to get the pins in the pistons. This wold really cause me to scratch my head.

You might be able to get by without honing the bushing IF you press the old out with the new. But as someone else said...I've only replaced a few rod bushings in my time.

Rob,

From talking to the mechanics at Case and at New Holland, it's not very common to replace the bushing for the wrist pins. Most just put new wrist pins in with the old bushings.

There is no way I'm competent enough to get those wrist pins on with the new bushings in place. After a few taps with the hammer, I pulled out the wrist pin and saw that I gouged the inside of the bushing all the way around. There is a definate difference in the sizes of the two. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The old wrist pins have a very small amout of slop to them in the bushings, and the new ones do to. I can put in a wrist pin and ever so slightly move it around.

I hope I'm being clear, there is space between the bushings and the wrist pins. Especially on cylinders 5 and 6.

Pistons 1 and 2 are different than the other pistons and are what I'm putting in there now. This leads me to believe that a partial rebuild was done at one time. The are probably fine, but the kit has all new stuff, so that's what's going in.
