just measure the two diameters and find a bushing that fits... the 'fun' for me was the EGG shaped hole...cleaned it good ,mixed up a tube of JBWeld, mushed bushing in and left for 3 days( NOT in a hurry ). When reassembling , be sure to use new lockwashers on the 2 bolts that hold the rearpivot bracket thingamabob. When those bolts go 'walkabout' you're in for some 'fun' !!!! reminds me I should chek them again... at least once a year.....

I get my local fab shop to make up a new pin and weld it to the axle. They also match up a bushing and fit it in the casting as well. They also weld up at back of the wishbone to remove any excess wear. Done it to many of my tractors - they will outlive me for sure! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| Thanks guys . Guess I'll know more when I get front pulled out . Rear of the wishbone has a worn out bush in it but agco doesn't show one . Have to find a match I guess . Thanks |

I machined a new pin for mine. Crazy how the old one was worn. The hole is a little egg shaped but the new pin takes most of the slop out. |

I don't think Allis engineers ever expected this stuff to be used for 60 or 70 years! Also the could have added a few more grease fittings to key important moving areas. We need some pictures!

re:

We're the ones stuck with wornout tires and sloppy stuff.....it'll be perfect for the next 2 generations though !! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
