Holy shit man a one liner ,can't get your link to load. If it was for a reamer I ain't got one.
I have fitted the occasional bush that has needed some adjusting , but this one takes ma's homemade apple pie ,it's small ID and large OD and my agricultural methods are proving somewhat slow to achieve the desired affect .

Re: Intermediate gear bush replacement
Maybe you need to validate the condition of the id of the old bush and the od of the spindle, unless they're both roached. If one is so bad that needs to be replaced, then the other can't be all that good either.auldblue said:

Re: Intermediate gear bush replacement
Nah, Gumby says "do it yourself".
I reamed 2 new trans gear bushes with a deep well socket wrapped with 600 grit emery paper and some WD40 as a cutting lube.
Use a socket that is the closest ID fit. Obviously I did this after pressing the bush into the gear. Take it slow.
Easy Peasy. Worked great.

Re: Intermediate gear bush replacement
Make sure the spindle is in the right position. The oil hole needs to be down.

Spindle came out with cover ,am going to stick it with bush retainer as it seems to be not bad. It appears that my bearings are not in the halfs properly as I have no end float on the crank, when I sort that out I will stick it in place.

Clearance will tighten up with heating and the rods tend to hold crank centered too and likely tolerant even if crank is pulled to one side by such small amount. The late great Mr. Hudson of instruction video fame wouldn't think twice about this little slack. On this note does anyone know which side the crank might be pulled to under load?
