Buda HP 205 Wrist Pin Bushings

May be a long shot but you might try Zimmerman's "Cletrac" parts source in Pennsylvania (I think)
Some of the old Cletracs had Buda engines in them although I'm not familiar with the HP205.

I'm not registered to that site, but could help out as needed. That job is not very hard, unless trying to do it on the cheap. Personally, I didn't get ino old iron to save money. Buy bronze stock, turn to required press fit with I.D. semi finished, hone to fit pin after press fit into rod. I send my honing to the local NAPA and they would get about $100 for 4 rods I'm guessing just for their part.

Yeah, thanks for the replies. I will pass that on to him.

Stephen, I was in McBee last weekend and stopped and bought some peach preserves as there was lot of orchards around there. Just wondering if you had a link to those farms as I'm sure the old Cats were used to work them in the old days. I'm on a project at Ft Bragg for the next couple of months.

My family had a peach and apricot orchard at one time when I was young, but nothing to compare to those.

Don, you probably drove past my house, I am very close to the pack shed and about half of my income is from farm repairs. Right now one job is repairing the orchard ladders.
You would be most welcome to stop by most any time if you can break free. We also have a member very close to where you are working. I could put you in touch

I have lot all faith in machine shops, the kids that run them think they are gods gift and know nothing, It is not a hard job to machine new bushings and size them from bar stock, it was a standard job 20 years ago....WA7OPY

I agree, we have become a throwaway society. The engine machine shop in Waco closed about 4 or 5 years ago and it serviced a 100 mi or more radius...it was a good sized operation that did work on several medium sized Cat engines for me and they could do about anything you wanted.

Stephen, I'll take you up on the offer while I'm here. I'll PM you when I can break free.
