I am in the process of swapping out the beat up blade assembly on my 40c for a nice 62 blade. The blade I'm swapping in looks like it had very little use, and there is virtually no pin or bushing wear. There is probably 3/8" of play in the lower bushings, and 1/4"in the cylinder lift bushings of the blade I have now. When I hit the blade control level I can count to 5 before the blade starts to move.
I am toying with the idea of throwing the pins for the 62 blade in the lathe and making some grease ports before I assemble it. Anyone else done this? Worth the effort?
Greasable Blade Pins Worth the Effort?
Re: Greasable Blade Pins Worth the Effort?
Cylinder pin bushing are already greaseable, wouldn't bother on the other ones. I would put new bushings in both ends of the cylinder, that will help with the play.
