"Save this bushing" should have been followed by the camera panning to the massive box of bushings sitting under a tarp... For anyone replacing the bushing in the pivot arm, it helps to cool off the new bushing and warm up the pivot arm. I recently did one that did not want to start and a little heat on the arm and the bushing in the freezer overnight made it push in with my fingers.
Lol not sure what you are talking about a massive box under a tarp...? The pulley bushing is used on all the mower mule drive pulleys.. Yes cooling the bushing and warming arm helps no doubt and good point if needed. But many times if bore is clean they go in fairly easy, also like noted in the video they can be pressed in pretty easy with a vice. These oil lite bushings tend to slide in decent, where straight steel ones tend to fight more and the warming and cooling trick really helps. I should have cleaned the bore as it looked ok but was not as clean as I thought. But the soft face hammer got it in pretty easy and just needed a little help at the end. But cooling bushings is very common and works great. When working on bigger stuff we sometimes used liquid nitrogen as it works very fast! Thanks for watching and the comment.
Nice ! Thank you.
