    Can't find radiator hoses

    Does anybody know where I can find an upper and lower radiator hose for a 1959 TD340 International harvester crawler?? Usually a littler persistence on the internet will finally pop up but I'll be darn I can't find it. I also need a thermostat gasket but I could make one if I had to. As handy as...

    Me again. So here's where i'm at. I actually bought a bridgeport. Been wanting one for years seems like now is a good time. I'm looking at McMasters for bushings and new idlers pin / axles.

    If I do it correctly I shouldn't need a lathe. I will buy two new pins / axels made of 4140 eh?? 4140 is strong??

    Stuck pin

    One of the bearing surfaces looks like this [ see pic ]. It's wore completely past the collar that held the bushing. I sm not sure how to fix this one. Either A- weld on a new collar [ which would probably break ] or B- crate a much larger collar that goes all the way out to outer rim you see...

    Three out of the four look like this [ see pic ] They are damaged and will no longer hold a stock sized bushing. But they can be enlarged and made straight. Right now they are wore from rubbing directly on the pin / axle. I think I can fix this with my bridgeport.

    I am buying a bridgeport Mill and should be able to enlarge and clean up three of the four holes then order custom sized bushings. The fourth hole is bad. Completely missing the collar that holds the bushing. Somebody here posted not to try and weld on a new collar??

    Where are you located?? 3 out of the 4 hole for the bushings could get enlarged then order a bushing to fit. i found a place that makes them order to fit. The one side though the entire collar broke off. So for that side I am thinking I could order a 3 1/8" circular piece of steel and that could...

    I agree I would much prefer to find used idler rather than fix. However I doubtful I can find something so old.

    My solution I guess is to get a huge bushing then weld it all the way around.... with a hole for the axle / pin in the middle of course. I could counter sink 4 holes for bolts as well.. thoughts anyone?? This post was edited by govsux on 06/04/2023 at 06:13 pm.
