Has anyone had to deal with installing bushings into a front axel? Is there a stock size bushing that should work out that I am missing??

 

[dfrisk]

JERRY - Bushing in the center pivot hole or at the outer spindle bores? If You check places like McMaster-Carr they have stock size bushings avail. Problem will be finding the right size boring bar to size the hole properly to put some "crush" on the bushing. You could Lock-Tight them in....but that'll probably lead to a discussion on JB Weld.

I wouldn't use a very thick wall bushing either....1/16" would work.

KRAIG - I remember that moment from PD #2... That was during the "PARADE LAP" and I got right about in front of the Photo Truck and almost ran out of gas and was limping back to My truck to gas-up. I'm off to the left on the 72...MAN that ground pulled hard!

Dennis - He needs to bush the spindle holes. I told him how to do it as I use to rebuild semi truck axles but he wants to drill'em with a china drill bit ...

After they're pressed in they'll have to be reamed to size.

He's gonna have to bite the bullet and SPEND MONEY if he wants to do it

Matt - That looks pretty good except I'd strap the bottom side of those "forks" sitting on the shaft. They good fly off under compresson and hurt ya.

I told Jerry to center it in the hole and pour babbit in it.

Matt - Yup , or just a pin. One of those with the detent ball on the side at the tip would be nice.

Jerry - It quits hurting after the first couple thousand.

I'm gonna need a selonoid for my 122. Would an aftermarket do or should I go Kohler? Theres a good (?) used one on ebay for a 123, would that work? Thanks! Dave

David P.
A good after market or an original Kohler are both fine, IMHO.
Click the sponsor buttons above and they will get ya fixed up.

David - The trouble with buying used electrical stuff is you don't know or can you see how long "good" is gonna last.

Kraig - Seems I already seen those pics somewhere ...

 

[kmcconaughey]

KENtucky, yep, two of them anyway.

 

[bbrigham]

David...you should really replace it with a new one, ya never know what your going to get when buying used electrical parts
