difference between oilite brass bushings

[cozzie]

I'm looking to know can I replace the first type bush with the second bush on a tractor loader. Reason been that the second bush has a 1mm thicker wall and I'm want to rebore the hole 2mm bigger and by using the second bush it will allow me to remove all the slack.

As long as it fits then I don't see why not.
Have the pins worn through the bushes and damaged the bores?

Sorry but them olite bushings are for light loads they will not work. They will compress and break up.

You need solid bronze cant remember if its PB1 or PB2 now? Ones harder than other. Make some bespoke bushes for a sheer grab once. Metric on od and imperial on id

I have also bought solid phosphorus bronze imperial bushes in the past and the modified to metric size I wanted etc.

In the USA they offer oliteplus or olite2? Which is a much higher load that would be alot better but no UK suppliers stock them.

Sorry I m just looked it up. oilite super would be more like the load rating you want I think.

If your reboring it why not fit steel digger bushes? Or just fit the next size wrapped bronze Bush and a bigger pin reboring all the pin holes? Place just down road from me make all them wrapped bushes but there all same wall thickness 2.5mm

the bushes are off a Quicke loader, the loader gets very heavy use and I find the Oilite bush with the yellow penetrated line as pictured above fail. They wear under load even when they are lubricated. these are 2 mm wall, ideally what I'm looking for something with 3mm wall and it sorts my issues, with out having to go drill out more sections to allow bigger pins

The first bush is not oilite, its just a split bushing, and looks to be ptfe faced. You could get some phosphor bronze tube of the correct bore, and bore the holes to suit,trimming the tube to length as required.

Imo ,best fit the quicke Bush with liquid metal& use better quality grease more often
( turn softdrive off when not needed, bushes last longer)

I find ptfe lined bushes poor. Wrapped Bronze with steel backing or solid bronze wrapped are far better.

That's who I get wrapped bushes from. But all wrapped bushes are 2.5mm wall thickness if metric.
