What do you mean by the pivot bolt ?? The rear pivot has a castle nut on it, but the threaded portion is welded to the axle frame. The front pivot is also welded to the axle and it isn't a bolt.

The actual rear pivot point is a welded part of the axle framework. Either weld it up and grind it down to size or cut it out and replace it with a 3/4" bolt with the head removed.

I made up some new rear pivot supports for the wide front. I have one for sale if you are interested.

I fixed one of my WD's by cutting off the "bolt", then, welding a new 7/8" in its place. then on the support I found a 3 point bushing, I think it was a top2-3 bushing,, not sure,, just got the one that was 7/8" I.D. fitted and welded it in the support, ground to length,, only boo boo I done was I didn't get the cotter pin hole drilled in the right place in the new "bolt"... I jus lock nutted it... has worked good so far,, took biggest part of an afternoon to get it done,, for some reason the front pivot wasn't too bad...

Drill and tap a hole for a grease fitting while you're down there. This time it'll last 100 years instead of 50.
