Hello,
Just got around to pulling out a pin that was made 2 years ago for my backhoe,
Original pin was too short since I added a hydraulic thumb to my backhoe and decided to use an existing pin slot in my backhoe.
Long story short, after pulling it out I noticed two indents in where the bucket sits and rubs. The thumb and main bushing don't seem to have worn out the pin.
How concerned should I be?
Should I replace it now or am I still good for a couple of hours?
The eyes of the bucket and pins were 1inch. (Measured by caliper)
Now the eye is around 1.02 on the bucket and 0.94 inches on the pin in the most worn out part.
Should I simply slide a new pin in ? Or wait until the bucket hole expands abit more to weld it up and re-drill the hole as 1inch.
Thanks in advance. All other pins are fine and greased with no wear. Tractor has around 250 hours and the pin has a good 45h of hard backhoe usage.
