Pivot Bearing on C3 Danco Mower

[JohnMihevic]

I thought I would do this post for info on the pivot bearing for the C3 mower. This is the bearing that is used in the attachment of the two lift angles to the rear mounting bracket on the Cub. Mine had worn and I wanted replacements. The replacement part # is 474061R2. This part is now discontinued but you can still find some as "New Old Stock" (NOS). I placed an order two weeks ago and have received it (correct part # and still in the sealed bag). The problem is that the replacement pivot bearing (bushing) is too short. It is 3/8" long. The original bushing was 1/2" long.

My solution was McMaster-Carr. The correct bushing is McMaster-Carr Part # 8491A432. The specs are: ½“ ID, ¾“ OD, ½“ Long. I ordered two and they fit perfectly.

I don't know if anyone needs this info, but if you do, I hope this helps.

If you buy part # 203RRAR10 it comes with the correct spacer, no bushing needed

I am confused. The part # 203RRAR10 has dimensions of I.D. = .64" and O.D. = 1.57".

The pivot bushing I am referring to (C3 mower--attachment of two lift angles to the rear mounting bracket) has dimensions of ½“ ID, ¾“ OD, ½“ Long.
