Thanks for the replies.
I used the Olite BFBs.
I installed BFBs, in one area, on one of my tractors. There are several areas that I have not yet swapped bushings out, and I have several tractors.
I generally like my 3000 Series Tractors, but the plastic bushings is one area that I am not impressed with.
IMO the bushings are thin and flimsy for the application.
Almost makes me think it is planned obsolescence. After a couple/few years the plastic bushings wear out and it affects the performance of the tractor potentially prompting the owner to trade it is. Dealer gets to sell a new tractor, and with little cost, the dealer can replace the plastic bushings, restoring performance and can then resell it for much more than trade in value.
I was at CC Dealer yesterday and walked by Svc Dept. Saw a 3200 with a tag on it saying slow reverse. Classic symptom of worn bushings. Some would trade instead of repairing, not knowing it is probably a cheap, simple (although short term, if Plastic Bushings are used) fix.
