Needs som help with bushings PICS

I have a 656 with a model 2000 loader (bought with great advice from the forum by the way), and when I was switching from the forklift forks for the loader to the bucket, I pulled the pin out that mounts the forks to the loader boom, and the steel bushing from inside the hole just fell out in pieces. The hole is slightly out of round, but not too bad. What would a guy do to fix this? IH tells me they don't even list a bushing for this location, but I have a broken one here in my hand.

Here is the chunk that fell out:

Here is the hole it fell out of:

Here is the opposite side of the hole it fell out of:

and here is what the other side of the tractor boom looks like..

When I look inside the intact one, it appears to be two busings, one at each outer edge of the hole, with a grease zirk squirting into the center. The bad side seems to have been welded on and messed with, so I don't even know if that is what it looked like to start with. THe pice that fell out appears to be 3/4" wide with an ID of 1 3/16". The pins are 1 1/8".

I suppose my question is, how would you proceed to fix this thing? Does anyone know what this should look like?

Thanks,

OUCH! If you have welder and know how to use it, great, if not well…find some one that does. I guess my first reaction would be to go check out hole-saw sizes and go to an iron supplier and find out what size tubing he has and what the wall sizes are. You have to be a bit careful because a thick walled pipe called DOM comes undersized on the inside so that it can be machined to fit whatever goes in side. Now, whatever size hole-saw and tubing size match up with what is on your loader will dictate the ones to get. Make sure that the pin will go through it. Now you can drill this out for a grease zerk and or have replaceable bushing fit into it. Your choice.

Take the hole saw and start sawing away to remove that busted up tube from the arm. A flame wrench would work, however you want as smooth and as round a hole as possible to put that new pipe you got from the iron supply place in. After you get the old one out put the new one in and then put whatever attachment to align the pin before you start welding. Now you should tack-weld the pipe in place or if you have enough room do the finish welding while you are at it. Let me know if you have questions.
