d8h blade cylinder pivot joints

Should be bearings on the cylinder trunion and bearings in the yoke.

For the D6C of the 1960s vintage, Cat used a crankshaft or connecting rod bearing insert for that purpose. That is what I used in my "6" after we had to build the ram ears back to a standard size.

Funny how they never see that grease fitting and let things just wear out. Oh well, like the old Caterpillar film "It's Up To You"

The blade s/n would be helpful.

That cylinder trunnion is shot! it wont hold a new bearing. The thick bearing is supposed to be pressed or shrunk on.

is there a spec measurement for the yoke i need to get back too? part number for the bearings? my part book doesnt cover it.
old magnet where is the serial plate for the blade? i know the machine serial is readable. will that help, also have some more pics of the whole machine just not at my home pc rt now, sorry
many thanks Ty

I think that bearing that is missing is a 5J 1192, in classic parts a 374-8355.

My parts book shows a 3J2189 lift cylinder in type 1, 2, 3, and 4 without trunion bearings before you get to a 5J1243 lift cylinder with the 5J1192 trunion bearings.
