I ordered 2 new ones off ebay no tax free shipping 73.00 for 2. I need a new bushing for the half inch shaft that the rubber springs pivot on. All other bushings looked good and tight. Original owner weighed 150 lbs not much wear. Where can I get just one of those bushings?
A single wear bushing should be available at a CIH dealer. Aftermarket bushing kits are available as well.
I hope you are about the same size as the original operator. I put new aftermarket rubber torsion springs in the 1206 seat last year. I tip the scales at 220, they lasted a month (maybe 200 hours) last spring. The next two came from CIH. They made it through the rest of the spring and last fall, and failed after I started plowing this spring.
Just in case, save your old ones. Minn-Kota repair can rebuild them, and they will last. The ones they rebuilt for my dad's 560 have been on there most of a decade, and, well, my dad is a bit larger than I am. Minn-Kota will not rebuild the new aftermarket ones, there's something about how the material bonds to the frames or something.
Nice tractor!

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
