Parts for an old Loader

I just bought a 1701 loader for my 340. Got a good price ($350), but it's pretty rusty from sitting outside. Here's my problem: the holes the pins go through where the arms pivot to the frame are worn and elongated from wear. The pins are almost falling out. I've been told that this is a common problem with used loaders and backhoes and that replacement pins and bushings can be purchased. Apparently you weld the bushing plate over the top of the old hole. Does anyone have experience doing this? Where would you find parts such as these - I assume they are generic and not necessarily IH items.

Paul,

Don't know if this will help you or not.

Keep in mind that any loader is nothing more than steel welded together in various shapes, so almost anything can be repaired with a little welding and fabrication.

Here's how I fixed the pivot points on one of my buckets. I've welded arms, pipe pivots and all kinds of "fixes" just to keep the darned things going over the years.

Thanks for taking that photo. That gives me a good idea of what I can do to correct the hole problems on mine. I'm not sure my drill press is powerful enough to drill a 1 inch hole through 1/2 plate, but I could find someone to do that part.

Do you know where I can find replacement pins?

Thanks again.

Paul

Sure,

Any dealer will have pin stock and will cut and drill to your specifications.

Hi Paul,

My loader is reworked; it is a very common problem with these old things.

As soon as it gets light out, I'll go get you some pictures to show how 1/2" deck plate is used to reinforce the pivot points.
