Oh I like your oversized rear @Harry :worship: !!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If I was any closer to that combine cemetery I'd get the big wheels for one of the tractors. :bee:

I don't know about you, but I don't think Harry's oversized rear is any of my business....

Here in the boonies of Canada it is not so easy to buy metals. Shipping is crazy of course, and the stores are far. Right now I'm focusing on getting the 3/4" rod and the tube to make the bushing at the end. I measured the original bushing welded on the tower, and it is 3/4" ID, and about 0.24" thick. The metal supermarket that's an hour away has this:

Dimension A on the tubing is 1.25". I'm thinking that this, with the wall diameter of 0.25", will give me an inside diameter of about 0.75".

For the rod I have another option:

This is a chrome plated hardened shaft. Do you guys think the chrome plating is a bad idea here?

For the bushing I also have the option to turn one of the 1.5" pins that came with some parts from a car lift. But the steel on these pins is so hard, it's really hard to work with it on the lathe. Not sure what to do, the price on that DOM tube is not the greatest.

I don’t know if hardened chrome rod is needed. The rod in my 648 shows no evidence of chrome plating. I think @Harry mentioned somewhere on here that he added grease fittings on his, that’s a pretty good idea.

I'd be inclined to avoid the chromed rod if possible. Unless you're going to go ahead and remove it before you install it.

Once the chrome is pierced by wear or rust, it'll score and gall the bushing ID pretty badly.

Can you get this shipped to you?

Yes, the rod from ebay would cost $70 total. Thanks guys, I need to think about this.

@Eugen If you have time to wait, I can check with some of my clients. There may be some in Cambridge.

Thank you @Spike188 , I think I got a lead on the rod, but still looking for a decent source for the 3/4in ID tubing with a thicker wall to weld on the tower as support for the rod. :writing: I might just just get one foot of DOM tubing from the metalsupermarkets in Barrie. 🤷‍♂️ it's annoying to pay $50 for a foot of pipe.
