I'm rebushing a machine I just purchased which is a large mini or small full size excavator IHI 80. I've priced out the pins and bushing at the dealer and can't believe what some of the cost. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy most of the bushings from the dealer but the pins I'm probably going to have made up at a local machine shop. What's the best material to use for this? I would imagine you want something harder than the bushings. The good thing as all the bushings are solid, meaning they don't have any grease passages through them. Some of them will just need a hole drilled through them or a small plate welded on. I'm hoping to get away from any material I have to heat treat. Want something that can just be turned down on a lathe. Any help would be appreciated.
