I am looking for a fellow peer to essentially replace my bronze bushings for my Van Norman. I lack the necessary tools to remove/replace the bushings, hone them for correct clearance to the shaft, and polish the grooves on the shaft.
At the moment one end of the shaft has up and down end play of at least 0.020" while the other end is considerably less but heats up beyond what is a comfortable heat range. In the photos you can see the bottom half of bushing that has worn so much the oil groove to keep oil inside the bushing is essentially flat (causing oil to drain out-picture of bushing without hole for oiling) while the top half is what the bottom should look like.
I am willing to pay for the shipping, labor, and parts. Please pm me if you are interested in helping me as I would greatly appreciate it. Do not care if paint is destroyed in the process as I can always repaint.
