wann experiement with bushings for 760's

Beezil · Oct 31, 2003

just for fun, was wanting to try out a bushing to replace needle bearings in a 760 joint.....

was gonna try 863 manganese bronze.

you gotta problem with dat?

anyone else ever try their own testing?

Use "Pure Power" grease.

I might have the name wrong so if you can't find it let me know I'll check it for you.

Couldn't someone make a killing by just selling bushings to replace the needle bearings of a 760x instead of selling the entire cap/trunion/bushing combo?

I wouldn't do 'em on a junk lathe, unless you take off about .001 at a time and keep checking for runout inside to out.

Beezil · Oct 31, 2003

you calling enco a junk lathe?

spobi!

they're SHIT.

Ghost · Oct 31, 2003

ok, thats just not right!

You guys confuse me when I read your threads! Make the voices stop!

4ward · Oct 31, 2003

80% of the lathes out there can't hold the tolerances I would think you should be going by for something like this.

Beezil · Oct 31, 2003

do you own an example of the other 20-percent?

start spinning.

if you supply me with a couple sets to do your beta testing for you, I will forgive the bet that i won.

4ward · Oct 31, 2003

I'm gonna grind 'em. I prefer to keep our bet the way it is.

XJJPR · Oct 31, 2003

Sean,
You mean that Bumm never paid up on that bet in Moab.

What a low life scum B is.

I want to be there when you pay up, so it might have to be in Nov 04

So what do the bushings do though?

CTM uses bushings but I understood it was because the larger trunion prevented the use of needle bearings.
If the trunion is the same size is the joint any stronger?

trying to address needle bearing failure.

bushings won't disintigrate like needle bearings can sometimes do, but more importantly, you can weld the caps in without risking melting the needle bearings.

You want me to grind some cornholio, that's just wrong B- even for you.

To get bushings to fit precisely they need to be "reamed" after being pressed in.McMaster has the reamers!
