Scott,
I'm not aware of anyone offering them, but you can get there using bushings offered by sellers of such items using Google. Obviously you will need the dimensions of what you require and also you'll need to decide what material you want to use as the original material is very likely not available (nor desirable given the modern alternatives available such as nylon).

Thanks all.
Pete, I did check out McMasterCarr. Know I just need to figure out which bushing.
I did find a link to these bushings:
http://www.alexanderstractorparts.com/atpcart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2324
They have the same part number and are for Ford tractors. I think I'll ask about the specs on these as well.
Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

It's NOT the same PN...the 2477 just means that it is a cross shaft bushing, the prefix makes it a particular one! Ford generally did not change the prefix if an early part fit a later application.
Got to McMaster or MSC, measure the ID and OD, and you can probably find a match. If length differs you will just be cutting off some or using two short pieces. There's a pretty good chance you will be able to get the important dimensions right this way so no reaming or turning will be needed.

As David said, the original ones were a compliant material of cloth etc. What I found and used were plastic self lubricating bushings that I believe are used in the food conveyer industry. The ID and OD are common inch measurements , 7/8 X 1 ? (can't remember). I found them at Grainger in the exact size and 1/2 the correct width. However they come in a pack of 5 so you use 2 per side which makes them easy to install . They are made in Germany and cost a whopping $6.00. I will look for the Grainer part number. Since the original ones were a soft material, the shaft is not usually worn. Therefore the new bushings will make it perfect again for about $6.00. You will have to fuss with digging out the old bushings,
Just an opinion

Bruce,
You are a walking parts manual!
Thanks for steering me straight.
Floyd,
Thanks for the heads up on Graingers. If you can find the part number, that is helpful.
Regarding the pins holding the ends on (cast parts with arms), can they be pressed out or do I have to drill them out?

For relatively low load bushes, I make my own using engineering nylon. You can buy it in round bar form, and it is so easy to machine. Doesnt need lubrication either for that kind of job.

Boxcar,
Dave is correct, I was looking for cross shaft bushings, but thanks for looking just the same.
Dave,
I am having a hard time driving one of the pins out. I had been hammering away on one side when I realized I can apply heat. Well I got the other side out, but the initial side will not budge!
I hope I did not mushroom the end and it is now stuck! I'll keep at it.
As I was working on the pins, I noticed that the holes in the brake rod arms where elongated. Can these be welded and re-drilled?

I've never tried this...but machine shop places like Goodson sell carbon rod, woodruff keys, etc for rebuilding holes and slots in car parts. You stick the proper sized carbon through the hole and weld away...
