The slightest amount of wear sure makes the bucket flop around.I have to do this repair on two machines, i have been wondering how i was going to do it. I think your way may be an option! I do have an old 'rail drill' the ones they use for drilling holes in rail road to bolt them together. Its slow spinning and has a slow in-feed speed. I bored out the lower bushings on my bobtach with it years ago, worked a treat. The problem is, its pretty heavy.I like your bearings for support, i used old cast iron that i bored out for bearings that i ran with grease/oil, it worked pretty well but did pickup a little with the swarf. It got the job done though. I have pictures of it somewhere.</blockquote>
