I posted in the massey section, but thought there was some general information maybe someone could help on here as well...please excuse my duplicate post.
I have a 205 industrial here and need to replace the front axle pivot pin rear bushing. You can see from the last image below the front bushing looks OK.
Following the manual is pretty straight forward, BUT, I have a front axle extension added on.
The manual says "the extension is to be welded to the bottom surface of the axle hub, so all forward thrust is absorbed by the support instead of the snap ring groove....NOTE: The extension is not to touch the pivot pin...(Refer to Industrial Service Bulletin: 64-3)"
Looking at my setup, it looks like the extension is welded to the pivot pin and is not welded to the axle hub.
I'm wondering if I could just push a new bushing in the rear and not worry about removing the pivot pin...but I'm wondering if the bushing would stay in there or work itself back out over time. If the bushing will stay, I think that would be the easiest way to go.
Anyone familiar with this setup or have some advice?
