we bought a 277b and apparently the last owners never owned a grease gun. and the bucket pins are bad sloppy, does any one know about pricing of welding up and boring these out? or borring and bushing them?

quackattak is probably good on price. I prefer bore and sleeve also. Line boring may not be hard, but you can end up in some real tight spots. If you were closer to cajun country I would get you fixed up. I started off years back useing a mag drill, you might could do your self, later I made my own gear box and parts.
Of course it’s apart. The 1.6” round hole is over 2” oval. The top half of the bushing is gone both pivot pins front and rear are worn. No bushing in the world will fix this with some welding or expand the hole to a round 2” and sleeve it. Which is the plan.Have you taken it apart? Maybe your bushing bores are ok?
