ebinmaine 68,205 #1 Posted July 24 Is there an aftermarket replacement for the bushings that go in the pedals of 60s and 70s Wheelhorses? I believe this is a 3/4 ID by maybe 1/4 long flange bushing?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,758 #2 Posted July 24 You MAY have better luck using NYLON bushings. I found some at NADA for the rock shaft on mine. 3/4" ID x 1/4 or 3/8. Had to gently tap them in place with a soft mallet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,205 #4 Posted July 24 @gt14rider Now you see that's less expensive than any of the others I've found. 13 bucks a piece plus tax. We replace between one and four of those on every tractor that we take apart and rebuild. That adds up quick. I would buy them in bulk if I could find something usable that was a lot less expensive.

I looked yesterday but I was using a different flange thickness because that's what I took off. No way an extra thick flange is a negative issue in this situation! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,205 #12 Posted July 24 Since you guys are on such a wicked roll... Any idea what the diameter is on the roll pins used in the clutch pulley idler shaft on the old eight speeds? I couldn't decide if it was 9/64 or 5/32. Or should I just get the 5/32 and expand the shaft bore hole with the right drill bit if needed??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,716 #16 Posted July 24 @gt14rider @ebinmaine another brain fart on that , why not get that 1/8x 1, 1/4 in a longer length , possible $ saving , and use a cutting wheel to make what you want ? https://www.amazon.com/Spring-Pins-1-8-Hardware/s?rh=n%3A16410401%2Cp_n_feature_ten_browse-bin%3A19044679011, regularly look at a problem , for related , similar issue . BTW that schematic lay out , also makes me think of detail tweaking for effortless function, done a lot of that , good talkin , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 68,205 #20 Posted July 25 Just now, Lee1977 said: You know your not suppose to feed bears. You let them find there own. Now now now. Let the boys help. In all seriousness. I did look. It's just that I was looking for the wrong size flange. What I had here was thinner and I couldn't find those for less than 6 or $7 a piece. I can't begin to imagine a little extra width is going to make that much difference and probably will be better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered a bag of 1/8 and knowing there was a broken pin with a worn oval shaped hole I also ordered a bag of 5/32 and two good drill bits. Turns out a Previous Owner had already done the oversized bore to the clutch pedal lever/rod connection!!
