I was asked to restore my pictures of this.
Steele Rubber #50-0478-48, as the closest substitute for original.

Maybe I should have my own Forum Section "Ask jeepdan"

Where I could post helpful pictures of my truck in it's restored to original, new condition.

You could be Ann Landers of the M715 world!

Jeepdan Landers? It's fine points like the above that really helps all the guys doing concourse restorations.

I found some helpful information on getting transfer case bushings on this site but.. The problem is that you can not find any OEM size. I was able to find a Jeep bushing that is close enough to modify and work.

Things you will need;

1) Bushing SKU# 972278, I purchased from online Partsdude $4.25EA
2) A 3 inch long piece of pipe, I used Galvanized fences pipe then wall, see
photos for size
3) A socket that just fits on the inside of pipe
4) An adapter that fits into socket and used to go into bushing hole, I used
a ½ to 3/8 reducer
5) A shop press or a bottle jack
6) A piece of wood to cut bushing on

The pipe will be your cutting tool and you will need to sharpen the edge, so it makes a good cut. I did not have a press, so I used a bottle jack. Took all the stuff I needed and got under my truck. The bushing you purchase will have the correct collar and thickness. The hole is a bit smaller but worked out fine. My old bushing OD size was around 1 ½. I needed something to keep bushing centered and used socket with a reducer on it. Reducer go’s into bushing and socket slide on the inside of you cutting tool (piece of pipe) See photos for sizes.

It is posts like these that make the internet totally worthwhile. Fantastic really.
Thank you Jeepdan and CH47fly!!!
