The holes in the boom where the pins go do not seem to have any reinforcing. The backhoe I have has short pieces of DOM welded in, but looks like the hole is bigger so it may be a method for ensuring alignment in production. Are you planning to add DOM or other reinforcing to the holes?

I'm not sure I understand what kind of reinforcement do you mean...? All the holes have bushings with 14 mm thick walls...

I thought the bushings was the reinforcement and a better reinforcement....

This is what I was thinking of. I do not know what the best way to do this is. I do make some things, but not on the scale or quality that you are doing so my question was only for information so I can improve on my work.

Must be talking about that plate welded around the bushing, but how does one know enough is enough for reinforcement......

The OP massively thick boom plates rather dwarf the pin bushings from a typical tractor backhoe.
Very impressive work and awesome fabrication skills.
