Have you considered drilling and tapping the pin or bushing for a grease fitting? Not much extra work but will likely make the joint last forever with regular grease maintenance.
A pile of parts was dropped off yesterday. Dirty, greasy flippin parts. People don't listen. I don't work on greasy stuff anymore and they must pay for me to clean them when dropped here dirty!
The housings aren't bushed and the castings are a mess. This whole post should be moved to a heavy equipment/welding/hack/repair website...
No matter how many times you tell them... in my early job shop days, one of our regular jobs was rebuilding hydraulic cylinders. I was the sole person tasked with receiving cylinders and prepping them for inspection. Hardly anybody cleaned them and still they would complain about the $75 cleaning fee. I kept telling the boss we need to raise it to $120. People were weighing the cost and realizing they would rather pay $75 than to dig the cylinder out of all the concrete-like caked on dirt and hydraulic oil.

I recall Leo Becker complaining about the dirt on a Cat grader steering knuckle that someone I knew had left him to repair the bushings ........The guy had his own mill ,but wouldnt put anything heavy or dirty on the table 'cause its nearly new'
