[QUOTE="HEFix, post: 25552, member: 2713"] I should have been a little more clear, the top pivots look great, it was the bolt for the tapered bobtach pin that stripped out allowing for the pin to wobble making the hole in the arm out of round, it almost looks like there's a bushing in the arm, but I can't be sure. It also loosened up the pin bushing in the bobtach making the bushing bore bellshaped where the bushing was wobbling, I'm thinking maybe I could weld in the bushing, or a new one if it's too far out of tolerance once I get a new pin rather than cutting the bushing bore out and replacing it... I know it's kind of mickey mouse... but the bushing bore ain't cheap, and in theory that would work for awhile until the bushing wore out again... and replace the bushing bore at that time, or if that would be an exercise in futility. If it's not a good idea to do the jerry rig, how do I cut out the old bushing bore? I'm thinking a big holesaw... or lots of little bites with plasma or o/a. Also, it has a tendancy to creep backwards, is there some kind of adjustment to fix that, it seems if it's run full speed forward and backward for a little while the creeping stops, the parking brake won't hold it from doing it either, I'm not sure if it's just out of adjustment or if it needs some new parts... the brake plate doesn't seem to do anything when it's wobbled either way.
