I have an old Ford 4500 (1971) that needs some new backhoe bushings. I checked around and I'm getting prices like $43.00 per. Any more reasonable sources out there?
Where did you find those prices ? It would save someone a lot of time from looking the same places you have already gotten prices. Did you try eBay ? Which bushings are you looking for ?
Well, to start: part # 7701205 Boom tube bushings (2) 2" id x2.306 o.d x2"
Isn't there anywhere where I can special order bushings made to size?
To make that bushing you have to buy in the steel,machine it,heat treat it and final machine it. For 43 bucks? Its a bargain at that price.
