Bend Pak cable sheeve bushings

[goforride57]

I don't want to sound cheap, but, before I drop 180 bucks for 4 new sheeves. I'd like to ask if anyone can recommend some where's I can buy bushings for these sheeves? The outside diameter is exactly 1" and the inside diameter is approximately 3/4". Again just hate to throw away good cable sheeves that have bad bushings.

Just about any place that sells bearings will have a bushing for you. Ace hare ware and NAPA may also have them. I would also suggest that you mic the pins to check for wear.

no neat sig line

any machine shop or buddy with a lathe can make you new bushings if you take them the sheave and pin for it.

Check McMaster Carr they sell a bunch of sheaves. The currently have the small 1" ones that fit the 3/16 safety cable and theirs actually have bearings. I think they cost 4 bucks each.

What model Bend Pack is that. My HD9 4 post has pins over 1" in diameter.

I vote McMaster on the bushings.

Try Motion Industries or Applied Industrial Technologies.

I would make sure the replacements are bronze if you make or buy them. How old is your lift?

Just for an update, I purchased these bushings and turned 1/4" off in the lathe and installed. Nice and tight fit. Thanks for the info. I would have went down to the local NAPA for bushings. When they got bought out a couple years ago, all the employees left and now are stuck with a bunch of guys that couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel in red ink.



The shafts still had the blue powder coat on them and no damage.
