Hoping to get away with just replacing front tube bushing (only because I happened to have one) I dicovered the tatered remains of front dshaft bushing. What is the easiest way to go about replacing that bushing? is that bushing, or its' specific dimentions, available anywhere? If I wasn't experiencing any fluid to differential or drivabilty problems should I leave well enuf alone? I am only at this point because I have the engine out for rebuild, I've had no driveline problems.
Thanks for your words of wisdom!

By all means I would replace the bushing.If they are loose you will get a vibration and druming noise at higher speeds.The only spec. is the clearance between the bushing and shaft should not be over .010"To remove the bushing it is necessary to drill out the dowel pins.Then you can get behind the bushing via the slot in the side of the torque tube and drive out.If the rear bushing is tight on the drive shaft just the front one can be installed.But I would recommend that both be in good condition.The seal and its retainer are behind the rear bushing.To install a bushing a new dowel pin will be required.The bushings were sold seperately or together as a kit with the dowels and seal.They fit 1934-36 Masters.Not the most difficult thing to find.I don't think I have any spares from my '34 but let me know if you need help.
