Mornin, Greg. We're all waiting for the big reveal on Tracy's super secret project. Vague description so far sounds like a shortened bazooka launcher made of brass.

LOL Nothing super secret about it Mick. I was kidding about the brass..
What I'm thinking of is a bushing for the draw bar on a tractor. Don't know if you've ever been around tractors much, but the hole on the draw bar is over an inch in diameter. For some equipment, with solid hitches, the size difference between the pin and hitch allows the attachment to move on an axis freely over uneven ground. Makes a lot of racket sometimes but you can't have a solid connection to the tractor without destroying something.
On the other hand, some equipment has a different hook up more like a hinge. If this equipment is being used on pretty even ground I think I can get away with reducing the play with out putting to much strain on the set up and not have the front of the equipment (mower in this instance) hanging down at an angle off the draw bar because of the difference.
