I've been asked to repair the main hinge on an old dump truck where the
holes are nearly worn through.
Here are some pictures:

The round bar that the bed hinges on is 1-1/2 inch diameter.
The four "ears" are 3 inches tall, 4 inches long, and 7/16 inch thick.
I have some 1/2 inch plate that I can cut some new "ears" out of. It doesn't
really look like the extra 1/16th inch is going to hurt.
Either the original setup did not have any bushings/bearings, or they are
long gone!
Here's my plan:
1. Cut the ears out of my plate with 45 degree bevels along the weld sides.
2. Take them to a machine shop to have the 1-1/2 inch diameter holes milled.
3. Have machine shop include brass bushings or not?
4. With new ears in hand, cut out old ears using my torch. Grind smooth.
5. Grab my welding machine and glue the new ones in place with 1/8th inch
6011 SMAW.
I'll need to make more passes than the original single pass weld when it was
manufactured, but it should be plenty strong.
Comments?
Suggestions?
I want to make sure I have considered all options before I cut these ears
off.
Thanks!
Joe

Damn!
Sorry about that, but the links are slightly off.
Please replace "/VolvoEars/" with "/photos/VolvoEars/" and they should come
up.
Lordy! How embarrassing!
Again, my apologies!

Please log in for more thread options Yeah, I posted a reply about 15 minutes later (had to give the message board
time for the new post to arrive before I was able to test my links).
Here are the corrected links as I "reposted" shortly after:

Please log in for more thread options Joe- not so much advice, but can you answer a few questions for my own
reference?
1. Is the ear surface is way too far gone to repair with hardfacing?
2. how true is the subframe the ears mount to? if it's twisted in any
way it seems like it could be a serious pain to get the pin back in
the right place.
3. how tight is the tolerance between the pin and the bore of the ear?
Is torching out 4 new ears that have to be milled to a common center
going to be difficult?
(i know it would be for me, but I'm not the best guy with a torch
either)
thanks for the info, and good luck on the repair.
