I bought an old backhoe and some of the pivot pins are worn. Should they be replaced with hardened or mild steel? Any suggestions on reboring and bushing the holes? I'm thinking it'd be better to use hardened bushings and mild steel pins since the pins are the easiest thing to replace. Comments?

Thanks,

Jack

Jack, check these out. They have a web site.
CONNEX spring bushings are designed for heavy load bearing applications. CONNEX bushings offer the wear resistant qualities required along with ease of installation and flexibility found in the split bushing design. They are a cost-effective option to solid bushings.

Ditto to Marlowe's comments. I could not afford the hardened pins. I use mild steel. Have a friend that has lathe that turned them down for me. I doubt I will where them out as the backhoe is rarely used anymore.

Also if just a little slop in the boom bucket is it really that critical? In my experience I have found for most of my dirt work it is not critical. Now that said, if I was working paid construction I would be more concerned about overswing and the like due to potential hazards; people, phone lines, water mains etc.

As to reboring or relining I would take it in to have that work done due to critical nature and stress on the steel. All I did was replace worn pins on a MF 50C TLB for general farm work i.e. stump removal, drainage ditches, swales etc.
FWIW
