Anyone find an online source for IMatch bushings?

$16.95 each is a bit high for a $3.00 (on the high end) part. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I don't think I need the special metal the JD ones are made from.

Yep, I'd go with the $3 bushing too.

I went to the local Farm and Fleet and picked up a pair of bushings for less than $3.

I asked the salesman who sold me my iMatch if I should purchase an extra set and he said something like, check the price before you do that. My point being, even a Deere dealer wasn't pushing them (and that was good advice)

The bushings sold for the iMatch-type conversion have a step, and roll pins to hold them on. See attached. Doubt you found those for $3. These are from SpeeCo for around $15. From Deere, they are in a kit that also includes the top link bushing. To fit right, buy the Cat I-III, not the Cat II-III 'bushing'.

If these are the bushings you guys are talking about, they are $21.95 a pair with the roll pins at most TSC stores. They look exactly the same as the pair that came with the I-match from Deere.

The bushings from Farm and Fleet that I bought were Cat2-3 and I still had to buy a cat1-2 sleeve. Price was $17.95.

FF was where I bought mine, and I had to wait for them to finally get the right ones (Cat 1-3) in before I'd buy them. They were from SpeeCo, part # HF141144 and cost me $12.99 at the time.

The bushings zip tied to my Imatch when it arrived were nothing more than 1 1/4" long x 1 7/16 OD x 7/8 ID hardened steel bushings. I wonder why they changed the bushings?

For something with a machined shoulder and drilled holes I can understand a bit of a price increase. I'll likely find someplace online to purchase the SpeeCo kit.

Does anyone have either the JD or the Speeco part number for the part that Beenthare posted an image of?
I don't want to mess around with bushings (metal tube adapters) and their narrow size and the clip that keep this bushing from falling off.

I (beenthere) posted the SpeeCo number for the image. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

SpeeCo, part # HF141144
