[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 10307, member: 82"] The lift arms never had bushings. The only way to replace them is to grind the welds off the sides of the arms and remove the entire boss or bushing, whatever you wish to call it. There are no re-newable bushings that you can simply press in or out i'm afraid.If you do it this way you risk mis-alignment of the arms so be careful when you put them back in. When i did mine, i put the new boss with the bushing installed in the arm un-welded, lowered the arms and pushed the pin in. Made sure it all sat rite and tack welded the inside of the arm to secure the boss. Pulled the pins and arms up and out and welded around the boss from the outside for a good secure weld. When i re-built my 743 i made it so i could pull new bushings in or out that i made my self out of 4140 steel and got nitrided. This goes for the lift rams too, when they wear you need to machine the eyes out and make bushings to suit. My tilt ram was the same, but newer ones seem to have bushings installed. I know its not what you wanted to hear, but its how they decided to make 'em. [/QUOTE]
