[QUOTE="nailsbeats, post: 6033, member: 784"] Bob, I run standard cold rolled steel shaft for my pin and a heavy mild steel bushing. Like Tazza said, I use a lathe to fine tune the fit. Pick a standard size pin or pipe and fit one to the other using the lathe. Also, make sure to put a grease zerk in the pin or pipe. Pivot points are the heart of this piece of equipment, they take all the stress, even if you have to pay a machinist to make them, it is worth it. In this setup, I would recommend a 3” pin with a pipe to fit. Hope this helps. Nels [/QUOTE]
