I am sure you realised that I was just giving you a bad time. But as long as you are making things better than new, what does the pin that goes thru this look like? I would think the pin would be in bad shape. How hard would it be to build it up with bronze and turn it smooth? I do have some good sized brass bushings, but I imagine the owner would like it done quickly.
