MTD front wheel bushings

Ronno6 said:

I received and installed the bronze flange bushings today.
Oilites on the inside and super oilites on the outers. I hope I got that right..
anyway, I had to press them in with the hydraulic press, then had to clean up the spindles
to get them on. A tight fit all the way around. (the old plastic bushings practically fell out...some actually did!)
I made sure to grease things up really well.
Now we see how ling they last..................

Any specific grade or alloy?
Is one better than another?

No because they are not listed like that. They are just in the brass section under bushings.

Is there enough room in there so grease can permeate / get in between the surfaces ???

Probably not at present.
However, I did get oil impregnated bushings. (Sorry, Boobot, you missed yer chance.....)
Maybe after a little honest wear..............
