Bushings for tension bar

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the bushings that the tension bar rides on for a 36" rear discharge deck? If not, would anyone know the dimensions so I can make a pair? Thanks

I dont know what material they're made out of. On this diagram they are #14.

Sorry Mike, those are shoulder bushings...the 42 and 48" decks have flat nylon guide bars on the outside of the pulley bar.  I have two 36" decks, but it's been awhile since I had one apart.
Looks like the ID has to fit the item 11 and 16 bolt and the OD must be a sliding fit in the bar slots.  Ace  hardware  has bronze shoulder bushings. If you can find the correct ID and OD,
You can probably adjust the flange and overall height to make it work.

Yeah, I checked Ace a little while ago, they don't have the correct size. I asked my friend if he can machine me a cpl. but I'd rather buy them than take up his time. I'm also going to call Hawns tomorrow and ask if they can order them for me. I appreciate you offering the help.
