I'm looking for some ideas. I'm pressing new bushings on backhoe/front loader on my 580. Those parts that are "small and light" I use my buddies arbor press.

What kind of press do you use for those parts that are just too big to be moved?? Is there a small portable press that can be purchased/made to do this??? I was thinking that maybe something could be made using those portable hand pumped hydraulic ram kits body and fender folks use. Just not sure how.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

Tom I use liquid nitrogen to freeze bushings to install, if yours aren't that tight, put the new ones into your freezer overnight then bring them out one at a time and pound them in quick before they expand.

Hi Tom,
Some guys stick a piece of 1" fine thread ready rod or all thread clear through the bushing and bore and draw them into place with nuts and heavy washers or plates. In our dealership, for blind bores (and most of the time, really) we just used a bushing driver and a 2 lb hammer.
Take a piece of cold rolled steel approximately the same OD as your bushing ID (i.e. 1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2"...most pins for your tractor are pretty much exactly those sizes, a few thousandths clearance is made into the bushings). Weld an old bushing to it an inch or so up the shaft (so you have a pilot for the new bushing you're installing), then grind the OD of the old bushing a few thousandths (so it will clear the bore, you can also sometimes use this as a bushing UNinstaller too).
Some guys just use an old pin that they've softened in place of the CR steel, but whatever you do, make sure you wear eye protection.
It doesn't hurt anything to give the new bushing a slightly more generous chamfer to help get started. Some guys put the new bushing in the freezer overnite. This usually isn't really necessary, but it can help.
Let me know if you need something clarified, or if you need any parts.

DaleIN;

THANKS for the response. Boy, that seems like a great idea!! I'm going to give it a try!

I found getting them out pretty easy. Just a couple of weld beads on the inside and I use an old pin and a few wacks and out they come.

Need to work on backhoe tower bushings,pins etc. Knew they were going to be a bear to get in.

Thanks again,

Tom
