Case backhoe bucket bushings

Coach v ยท 2019-10-16 13:37

My 580 super k came with 4 buckets. One was on the machine and fine, but the other buckets are missing the bushings. Do I simply measure the ID of the holes on the bucket and the od of the pin and order that size?

    Yes, measure OD of pin and ID of bucket but those holes don't look very good/round. Spring Tension Bushings may be a good option if the holes aren't too far worn. (.004"-006" max. depending on brand of bushing) If they are would have to either weld and line bore or bore oversize and have oversize bushings installed. Another option is getting longer pins and welding bosses on the sides of the buckets with proper holes. http://www.connexusa.com/HTML/Spring Bushings.html http://www.connexusa.com/HTML/Spring Bushings_examples.html
