    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    Unfortunately, no. There isn't enough material on those bosses to bore it out that much. I think if I can bore it to 1-1/16" I'll be good for the life of the machine. Or as long as I will have it with mainly homeowner use and occasional contractor work.

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    Two of the three pins are bushed in the middle of the plates where the pin rotates. The third pin is not.

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    I have not removed them. But all the outer bores appear to be worn about the same. They would be pretty easy to remove and bring in to a shop though...which is the way I am leaning.

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    Yes it's ductile iron. The egg shaped holes are 1.030 (at narrow point) 1.060 (at wide point). The current pin is 1.029" and is round a the widest point where it contacts these triangular plates. I doubt it's the wrong pin. It's hard to say how much that pin is worn, but again it's not oval...

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    Can't weld those plates...they are cast. Not sure how the holes got worn but when the inner bushing wore, then the pins can rock/twist. Yes, I meant 1-1/16" in my earlier post.

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    To clarify, I'm not suggesting boring the triangular pieces to receive bushings. There is not enough material to bore that big. I'd just bore them to 1.0625 (1-1/6"). They are currently wallowed to 1.060" at the widest point. Assuming I can successfully bore them, I would need slightly...

    Which hand reamer for egg shaped hole?

    I'm slowly working through the pins and bushings on my 1845c. I've got the lower arms and bucket cylinder pins/bushings done and now i'm on to the triangular plates on the boom. The plates themselves don't have bushings and are wallowed about .06. The upper arm that is pinned to the triangular...

    Case. 1845C pins or bolts

    I considered that...and was probably my next option. But I'm a rookie and don't usually know the best way. I tried a HSS bit which barely made a dimple, then I went to a carbide masonry bit...hey it's carbide right? LOL. Probably not recommended, but it'll do in a pinch!

    Case. 1845C pins or bolts

    I just drilled new OEM pins to make them grease-able. The cross drill is the tough one...the pins are surface hardened. The core drill in the tailstock was no problem, but I needed a carbide drill for the cross bore. The previous owner did the same, but I'm not sure if they made their own...

    Brush Mower Rebuild on a "Suihe, Wolverine, Cheap Made in China"

    Thanks. I looked at a bunch of different OEM blade carrier designs. This one seemed best as long as I didn't make the circle too big. The weight adds up really quick in 1/2" plate. The attachment reinforcement is a good idea, hadn't considered the extra weight stressing that area, but it...

    "Suihe" brand attachements (Ritchie Bros)

    I got around to rebuilding my blade carrier this week. I posted a new thread here... https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/brush-mower-rebuild-on-a-suihe-wolverine-cheap-made-in-china.83502/#post-896129

    Brush Mower Rebuild on a "Suihe, Wolverine, Cheap Made in China"

    All done and installed. Haven't put a good test on it yet. Hoping the extra weight will make it work even better, and not destroy itself in the process. Time will tell.

    Brush Mower Rebuild on a "Suihe, Wolverine, Cheap Made in China"

    I ordered new blades that would give me a the correct offset and I cut the circle out of 1/2" plate based on the length of the new blades. The circle was 28". It used a standard 12 spline hub and they were cheap at around $20 so I bought a new one rather than trying to salvage the old. This...
