70/100 Axle Bushings
The axles on my 70 had some slop. I was hoping for needle bearings but found bronze bushings. Of course these bronze bushings are NLA. I ordered a set of bushings from McMaster-Carr and now I am finding conflicting info on using the oil embedded style bushing. The new bushings have NO oil groves and are longer. The axels show some markings from wear but can barely feel it with fingernail.
I doubt I will ever do much ground engaging work with this tractor. I have a deck for it but that refurb is a long way off. Hoping to eventually make it show quality.
So I am in a quandary and need advice.
Will the oil-embedded bushings cause issues?
If using the oil embedded bushings should they be cut down to original length?
Anyone have some NOS bushings?
Steve
