I bought a mf 35 recently and find that the "cradle" which holds the pivot pin [holding the front axle] is worn badly and both holes are out of round. What is the best way to deal with this? Are there replacement parts available? What is this part called? Should I take it to a machine shop and have it repaired [at around 600 dollars]? Your advise is appreciated.

I just got done doing that to my TO-20. Mine was oval shaped a quarter of an inch. I welded the hole back at the top side of the cradle to a little smaller than round and very carfully ground it back to round with a small air die grinder using a 1/2 carbide burr. If it doesn't come out exactly like you want it, you can always weld it in again and work it down again. I used a lot of trial fitting to get the end result. It took me about an hour. Besides, what have you got to lose? I also made a new pin bacause the original was a little too short. But, instead of putting a crank hole in it, I left it solid and drilled it for a grease hole to the bushing. Irv

...at aftermaerket parts for a "bolster", the name for it. Replaced one about 3 years ago for about $350. Be sure you get a new pin and bushings.
