Can a person use oilite bronze bushings for kingpin bushings? The tractor weights about 2800 pounds and it isn't going to get much use, just parades and shows, etc. Thanks for the advice.

If it were suitable, they would have used it as OEM. You have no idea what that tractor may be used for at some time in the future. Someone might put a loader on it!! Most sizes of king pin bushes are readily available. They are probably not that much more than the oilite bushes either.

Oilite is generally used for bearing material for a shaft that turns and if it gets warm from lack of lubricant...the oil in the oilite kinda seeps out and does the job. I don"t think your kingpins are gonna turn that fast but I see no reason why it wouldn"t work. It is a bit crumbly when it gets thin walled so be careful there. Used as a pilot bearing where you can"t get grease or oil to it is the main use for it. Fred OH

Oilite bearings are made from powdered copper or different alloys, this is then placed in a die and pressed to the desired density [30% up to 90%]. Then placed in vacume or inert gas atmospere and heated to cause the powder particles to bond together. This was developed by Armour research Foundation of the ITT University for a bearing to hold a lubricant. It must be in a sturdy housing or it will shatter. I worked on this project, working there was some of the best years in my younger lifr.
