cultipacker

I recently picked up an old Harriman "Soil Buster" cultipacker. It needs new bearings, made of wood. Anyone here ever made wood bearings? I was going to use seasoned Osage Orange, draw-knife it down close to diameter, then drive it thru a piece of pipe of proper diameter. Like making a dowell or arrow shaft. I don't own a lathe. Any tips would be welcome.

I have a Minneapolis Moline UO 10' disk from the 50's that has wooden bushings. I called the place below in Iowa, and they actually had them in stock! Give it a try ...

wood bushings.

There are several type of wood bushings. One is a round outside diameter and an inner hole of the shaft diameter. These are split so the grease will pemetrate. The type of wood is not as big a problem as you might think. The other kind is a hex outside and a round hole in the middle. You can but those from Linebacher over in NC they are $4 each half. or $16 for the two ends. Just a tip, if the cast iron outer bushing housing is worn egg shaped, weld a 1/4" washer to the face of the housing and it will be as good as new. Hope that works.:wave:
