I was able to get the pins and bushings from a machine shop the buI assume this is what you are referring to. I made these many years ago. I think I used 4140, and drilled the center to increase the quenching rate since I was heating with a torch and wanted to maximize the hardness. These pins seem to be a sore point as I frequently see them retained by straps welded to the push beam. Other times they are seemingly impossible to remove.
The bushing? How is your hole in the beam? If it is grossly worn out then holding a bushing in there in a meaningful way is tough. Your pics? Let's see some!

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
