Farmall C/SC wide front pivot bushings....

tfringo · Dec 31, 2016

Hello, been forever since I been on the board. Broke an axle on my SC and have it in the garage working on it. I was wondering if anyone has any success at locating the bushing for the front pivot shaft on a wide front end for a C/SC. Mine have a fair amount of play in them and I like working on things so I thought I would fix them up. So far, I have not found them anywhere available. If someone has replaced I would really like to know what they used as a bushing. I think they are steel backed with bronze. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Im posting some pictures of my current project.

Thanks

I used steel as the tractor will never be in the field 10hrs a day anymore. Of course i have a lathe but brass would also work then maybe a new pin also.

I've make a couple for my 8n's out of steel pipe and pixed the pins by brazing and grinding back down. They have held up very well but the tractor only mows a couple of acres of grass in the summer. The repair on the one is at least 10 years old with no noticeable wear.

I remember years ago that the bushings were a little worn and the pin was worn but I put off fixing it. It would probably out live me but I would like to fix it since I enjoy my tractor and I get a lot of satisfaction from working on it. It is torn apart at the moment because I broke an axle and bull gear the other day. I have take good care of it through the years so it is in nice shape and pretty easy to work on. Bought a supposedly good used axle off eBay the other day. The person sent me a completely different axle than the one I purchased. I hate that when people do that. The one that was pictured had nice surfaces where the oil seals road. The one he sent me was pitted and rusty. When I informed him of the situation he suddenly became an expert and I was the idiot and didn't know what I was talking about. I told him to take the axle back and he didn't want it. LOL! Taking the axle to a machinist on Tuesday to have it repaired. Thanks for responding.

EXCELLENT. Do they specialize in bushings or tractor parts? Thanks

No, it's one of those places where if they don't have it, you don't need it. You would have to take it apart, measure the bushings then find them on the online catalog. The paper catalog is about 3" thick now, The online catalog is easy to navigate. You will need the ID the OD and pick one that's long enough and you can cut to length if necessary.
