Did some quick measuring tonight and I have these dimensions. ID of bore is 1.321", OD of shaft is anywhere from 1.219 to 1.225", and depth is 1.675". If I were to buy a bushing 1" ID, 1 3/8" OD, and 1.5" length, I could theoretically turn this to do what I need right? I have to turn the shaft down to a round part first, since it's kind of out of round now. Must have been that way since new as a brass/bronze bushing could not possibly wear an oblong pattern in a shaft....could it?
I realize that particular bushing will be a little on the shallow side but the problem I'm trying to get rid of is wobble in this gear. Will that .175 really bother enough to hurt me?
