![]() I thought by keeping the axle holes as close as possible to the new axle bolt's OD the repair would last longer. Since the new 3 piece wheel bushing kit from John Deere came with a smaller OD axle bolt.11.75MM instead of the original 5/8 axle bolt I ordered a drill bit from MSC, 11.80MM was the closest I could come. Then I took the yoke over to the vise and drilled out the original 5/8 axle holes to 3/4" to accept two 3/4" grade 5 bolts I was using for shoulder bushings. The first step in the repair was too grind-off the welded on steel washer that holds the yoke pin on the rotary cutter's adjustable arm. mostly after backing up and then going forward. The damage caused the tail wheel to hang up and refuse to turn around and follow as fast as it should have causing the wheel to hang up and take long divots. The rotary cutter's tail wheel bushings on my 503 John Deere rotary cutter wore out over the last twenty years and caused the axle bolt holes in the Yoke to wobble out and the axle bolt itself to almost wear in half. ![]()
