I"ve been rebuilding a Ford 555 TLB. Now that the engine is rebuilt, I"m repairing other parts. I went to the CASE-New Holland dealership and bought the busings for the front axle center pivot for $75, king pin set for $100 per side, and a spring for the pressure relief valve for the torque converter for $18. After going into a mild shock, I decided there has to be a cheaper way.

Are there aftermarket parts dealers for these kind of parts? I"ll be needing some pins and bushings for the loader and some hydraulic stuff. The day I bought the other parts, I included a pin for the bucket leveling bell-crank, but it was almost $150 and I told him to take it off the list. At this rate from CNH, I could quickly exceed the cost of the tractor in a few replacement parts.

With engine kits it seems everyone handles, but how about pins, bushings, seals, and cutting edges for the Fords?

Help!!

Yeah , it's a shame that prices got so far out of reality...I'll bet it would cost $ 300,000 to build a backhoe from parts..You know the old sayings....Big trucks , Big Bucks.....Big boys , Expensive Toys....I've tried to get pins and bushings aftermarket from some company in California..They sent sketch sheets with measurements left blank so I filled the blanks and faxed them back..In a couple of days they got back to me with their estimate..It was more than FNH....Others have had pins and bushings made up and they seem to work for a while , then because of poor metalurgy , heat treating , they're loose again in a short time...Also the Ford swing frames on the backhoes don't have replaceable bushings..The swing frames have to be line bored and bushings installed..FNH has a kit available to install bushings and pins , but again , it's pricey....
