[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 10308, member: 782"] For a while back when the local Bobcat dealer here offered a weld in bushing to repair the A-taper in the boom arm , there were in two different stles , the first one was a bushing the width of the boom and would kinda disappear once it was welded in , leaving only a weld to show where it was , then the second generation there was a bushing that had a shoulder on it which I liked better , you can still get them from a comany called Construction Tool Parts in Portland Oregan , if you want a number e mail me , I'd post it but not sure how it would be recieved by web masters , any way for those bushings you drill a hole right thru the old a -taper hole and insert the bushing , everything is lined up and then tack welded in , very clean repair and not very expensive , it helps to have a magnetic drill press as the drilling is rough , what I do is tack weld a plate to the side of the boom to give the mag drill a good flat base to stick to , and hang the drill on a engine hoist or such , then drilling is easy --------I seen the machine shop make the bushings to do the repair but for the cost you can't beat CPT's kit which comes with a bushing , pin , bolt and oversized heavy duty washer and instructions -----fishfiles [/QUOTE]
