Oof! What a mess. I think I"d be tempted to torch the whole thing out and install heavy wall tubing, like the "good" side has. It looks to me like the good side has already been repaired like that, and the bad side is the original, but that"s just my opinion. Maybe even make a bushing to fit inside of it. It looks kind of "yuckled out", or you could just make a bushing to replace the one that fell out. However I have a lathe and can make whatever I need for a bushing.

So if I torched it out and used heavy wall pipe that matched the ID of the other side, would I then just need to drill a hole into the center and tap it for a grease zirk? That looks like very heavy wall pipe in the pic, but there is actually a thin inner pipe/busing... that will spin around inside the larger outer pipe. Whether or not it is supposed to do that, I couldn't tell you...

The way I"ve seen those made from the factory would be to have the heavy wall tubing welded into the loader arms, and then a thinner bushing, maybe even bronze (although many times it"s steel on a loader), slid inside of the tubing. I think the intention is that the bushing fits snugly in the tube, so that any wear from movement happens on the replaceable bushing and pin, rather than wearing the actual hole in the loader arm. So, you could do just like you were thinking, with a new piece of tubing welded into the loader arm, drilled for a grease zerk, but eventually that would produce an egg shaped hole again. Of course, it would last a long time before you had to worry about it again. It all depends on how much time, patience, material and equipment you have. If you lived close by, I"d just make up what you need on the lathe!

I think what you are saying would work well. I like the idea of some "sacrificial" steel in there that I can easily replace in the future. I don't use this thing every day or anything like that, but I intend to hang on to it for a long time, and I like things being the way they should be. I just remembered that I have a client that has facilities that can do metal lathe work.. I think I'll give him a call and see what we can't work out in a trade. Thanks for your advice!
