I am looking to rebuild the front end on my 7080. I need all the bushings for the spindles. Does anyone on here sell them? What is the prices and the shipping costs for them. PM if you have them for more info.

Thanks Dan

Ive been wanting to rebuild the front of my 7060 too. Yesterdays tractors sells the bushings and steering arms. My IT shop manual says you will probably have to cut the steering arms off. I dont know about yours but mine has alot of play in the pivot pin too. http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/store/model_parts.cgi?SearchArea=AC&&md=7080&cat=Steering&r=mcats - http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/store/model_parts.cgi?SearchArea=AC&&md=7080&cat=Steering&r=mcats

Steering arms are removed by heating the arm around the spindle shaft to red hot then douse it with cold water. then either tap off with a hammer or use a puller. It will come off easily. It is a must then when reinstalling the arms to reheat them to red hot again and setting them in place again (may have to tap them into place) then letting them cool on their own. The reason for the cold water is freeze them in their expanded state after you heat them. The reason you let them cool on their own is so they shrink tight to the shaft and don't come loose later and ruin both the arm and shaft. You don't have to cut anything though it take a rose bud torch to heat up sufficiently.
