Working on a Kobelco SK250LC extended reach, pins/bushings at bucket are toast. Priced 4 new pins from Kobelco, $2500. And they're not even 250 class machine size pins! Being an extended reach, the bucket pins are more like a 100 or 120 class machine.
Does anyone know a supplier for hardened pins? Another thought I had was using induction hardened chrome hydraulic cylinder rod stock and have a machine shop taper the ends and bore retainer holes, has anyone here tried that?
