Had that happen to an ammeter on a school activity bus I was driving one time. Unhooked the battery to keep it from going up in flames. Straight-wired it to get it back to school. Last time I saw it, it was an the hook, headed for the repair garage. Guess they didn't know how to straight-wire it!

Oh, and if the bushings are a thin steel sleeve with a coating inside them, there should be no reaming. If they are solid brass/bronze, they may have to be line-reamed once in place. Do you have pictures of your kit? The guys on here might be able to tell you more about that if they could see exactly what you have. Also, if the bushings are a tight fit or a no-go on the pins already, then reaming will be a must. But, if they have noticeable clearance on the pins in the free state, it may not be necessary after installation. Keep us informed. -
Exactly.

Here are pictures of “Type 3” knuckles, which I THINK is correct for a FA505. One has a needle bearing and the other doesn’t. I am also attaching a picture of a “Type 2”, which uses a different thrust bearing setup. I hope this helps.

You know, I may have a good picture of that in my service manual. If I can remember to do it, I will look at it tonight. Seems like it had good instructions, too.

Here is a great picture of how the components stack up. I hope this will help explain how the tapered pins work. Like the man said above, the tapered part seats in the axle beam. The bearings/bushings go into the knuckle. And the thrust bearing is adjusted into place with the big nut on the bottom.

Best part is how he grew several inches between those events! That's great! LOL!!!!!!!!!! You ain't right, O'Dog!

Most of the Bendix Tu-Flo type compressors were available with an open back for a P/S pump. So were a lot of Mack branded ones. Do you know what compressor is on there now? -
Sorry to hear that. I know how much it hurts to lose a friend. I don't have many real friends left. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.

That's a lot like the one I did on mine. Seems like a needle bearing on one end and a Teflon-lined sleeve on the other end. Needed no reaming or fitting. Just bolted together. Only issue I had was that the screws holding the cap on top of the knuckle had to be drilled out and the holes cleaned up. I replaced the Phillips head screws with socket head cap screws. No interference anywhere and a whole lot easier for the next guy to get out.

I saw this in person. They actually did a pretty good job of shaping that lever to clear your foot. But, yes! There is not a lot of room there!
-
Nice! Thanks!
-
Yeah. They’re 13 now. One is nearly as big as I am. The other one is bigger than I am. The taller one is 6’ tall and weighs 182#.

Of course, right now I can’t look up anything! Having a temporary change of scenery! That’s the grand-twins in the pool.

Sometimes those are different revisions of the same item. Might have to do some measuring to know for sure. Also the build sheet number might not be for the “kit”.
-
I’m not sure. I’ll have to look into that.

Howdy, Larry! It varied from year to year here’s a 211hp ENDT-673.

My genuine pleasure, gentlemen!

A good hair dryer definitely helps.
-
That would be a wise investment, right there!

Hard to do. The engine almost disappears between the frame rails!

JoJo, the ones on my FA535 axle did not require anything done to the holes or the bushings. Not sure if that has always been the case. I can't remember for sure, but I think mine had a needle bearing on top and a bushing on the bottom. Seems like freighttrain did a set in about 4 hours! Mine took me all day!
