Early John Deere Ski Spindle Bushings

[ddub]

We are working on producing Ski Spindle Bushings for the early X00 and JDX sleds.

Upper bushing, M66260. Lower bushing M63112.

These will be made from a improved material, Delrin. Versus the original Rubber material.

The first uppers are on their way from the machinist! We will be installing them on my two sleds for fit testing SOON.

Lowers will be moving into R & D phase this week! If all goes well, material is already in place to start manufacturing.

A taste test for you guys!

Now here is a part that everyone can use.

Put me down for a dozen when they are ready.

Bushings LOOK GREAT, How bout reppoping some suspension bushings for the 76 77 cyclone liquifires , dator , 340/s , I cant remember if they all carry the same part # . I have a few NOS ones if you need a pattern. Nice job Brock

I'm with Brock on this one. The M66245 bushing would be a good one to repop.

Well the Prototypes uppers passed with flying colors. We are making one MINOR change with production units.

I will be placing a small order and gauging interest. If you want some out of the first run, contact me and I will up my initial order.

I believe pricing is going to be about $25.00 each. We might be able to do a bit better depending on if we can cut time down to machine them as we go.

Well, a small delay in research of the lowers.

I didn't realize that the lowers would be a different outside diameter material.

So, the lowers have been delayed while evaluating what size would be best. I have two sizes en-route to the machinist now for him to evaluate.

But the uppers are actually in the process of being produced as we speak.

[ddub]

Well the first shipment of production uppers are on their way!

The first sets of r & d lowers are on their way to Todd!

Here is a picture. They are a work of art!

Skoalmint,
Did you get my PM?

Thank you!

[ddub]

The uppers are in the shop ready to ship!

Hey Guys, I test fitted the repoped lower bushings in Dennis's 300 and 600 today.

All I can say is SWEET!!

They look great, fit great and are the cat's meow for all the midmounts.

I bet these will last for thousands of miles too.

Todd,
Thanks for the assistance!

Material is going to be ordered for a production run on the lowers now. We are moving forward!

[ddub]

The first production run of lowers is done!

I should have them available for purchase by the March 1st.

[Steven Rempel]

For a complete set for my 300 what would be the purchase price. If you could let me know or send a PM. Thanks

[ddub]

Steven,
I am still working on final pricing of the lowers. Once that info is all in, they will be on my website.

Thanks!
