Thanks for the help guys. A welder at my day job laughed at me, and said give me that arm!

 

He welded a nice smooth area where the idler had worn out a big oval in the arm, then he used a dremel to make it look and work like brand new....

 

I buffed it out, and the thing works great, no more rattles ! Nothing like OEM he said, metal is better than what you can get today

 

THANK YOU RED SQUARE !!!!!

I've had 2 fixed where the hinge pin wears out. Guy cuts off the old pin and welds on a new one. Weld the oblong pin hole shut and drills a new hole to fit the pin.

nobody knows where to get a set of dust covers for a pair of front axles on a 418 A? 8" wheels....

Glen Pettit is the sole supplier of these and is recuperating . You may be able to come up with a food container cover that will fit, seem to recall someone here using a coffee creamer product cap.
