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.

I planned to call him and ask about the pin , as you say it's
probably worn too . Probably try get him to bring the unit over here so
I can build it back up . If he can't , I can take the baby MIG over and
build it up , but it'll need some preheat . Got a roll of flux core just
for "field ops" .
