| Doubtful that you will find one as nice as a good machine shop fix. They are ALL 60 years old !! |

I repaired the pivot in my D-17 over 25 years ago. Used Belzona 1111 Super Metal to fill the void surrounding the pivot bushing. Welded a new pivot pin to the wide front end. We use the D-17 for field work and use the 500 loader for all sorts of heavy work. |

| Update : I actually found one in good condition ,someone had drilled and tapped it for a grease fitting ,I’m going to install a new bushing but the casting has not been touched . Lucky find ! Thanks for the replies. |
