Well, after divorce took all my toys I'm finally back! Rebuilding life again. Just bought a 2000 JD 310SE with 3500 hours. 3 years newer than my last one and 2000 less hours. This one has working AC but no air ride seat or plumbing for a hammer. It does have 4x4 and extendahoe. 20230810_180526.jpg20230810_180716.jpg
I'd like to hear from guys with experience in replacing pins and bushings both at the main pivot frame and on the bucket links and pivot areas. Not done those before. Guys have been telling me to weld a couple beads inside them to get them to shrink and beat them out. Any better ideas for the farm shop?
