[QUOTE="Bobcatter1, post: 83167, member: 11776"] Hi Bobcatguy, Yeah, I thought about possibly tack welding the bushing, but I was not sure how the hardened steel (seems pretty hard) of the factory bushing would take a regular mild steel welding. Also, I worried about obstructing the pin seals. I put the machine back together, greased it all well, and put it to some snow removal use. Each little snag got me thinking about that epoxy. There's no real way at this point of seeing if it's holding, unless I take the pin back out. I guess, we'll see what happens. I happened to email a line boring company local to me yesterday, and I was quoted $700 to do both sides, which is what they would recommend. This company rewelds and bores back to factory specs. Seems like a lot, but then all line boring is probably expensive. I haven't shopped it around, since I'm hoping my repair holds for a while first. Joe [/QUOTE]
