    If the pin is OK, I sell a center point bushing to replace the Torrington needle bearings. With new lock nut the cost is $30 plus $5 shipping. If you have questions you can email me at : HET gtkristi@copper.net or ask here how it worked for them. Gert Kristiansen, Deseret Chapter.

    Kdancy,
    Thank you for good information.
    I havn't disassembled the center steering yet. I have to do that first I can see if the pin is worn before I shall contact Gert Kristiansen.
    How much is correct diameter for the pin?

    Hi, thanks for the interest in the bushing kit for the step-down Hudsons. My e-mail has changed to: HETgtkristi@comcast.net. Inflation has pushed the price up to $35 + shipping ( $6 in USA ). Let me go out in the shop and measure the pin ( I think it is 1.000 on the micrometer - will verify)  Gert Kristiansen PS I also make the distributor - oil pump alignment tool.

    Yes the pin is at 1.000 more serious than a  few thou undersize is if the pin is rusty where it would chew up the bearing/bushing. If the pin is bad look for a used replacement or buy the new pin from Randy and Russ Maas at 21st Century Hudson - you would then need to have a machinist align the pin and machine a taper-pin attachment to the housing. On my e-mail remove the "HET".  Mange tak (I am Danish).Gert Kristiansen. PS the alignment tool is only for the "Big six" Hudson.
