Forward Gear Bushing Destroyed

[mike140]

Does anyone know where you can find a replacement bushing for the forward gear on a DF140?

All gears look great with exception to the forward gear bushing that is severly damaged. I would like to save $500 by not buying a new gear set and getting a new bushing. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

No haven't tried to find just the bushing, a machine shop might be able to make one.

That's the path I'm headed down. I was hoping for a shortcut. Thanks for responding.
