Well that doesn't sound very helpful AT ALL!
That being the case... Since I have one laying here on my desk, I'll just start something then...
Depending on the condition of the parts, when I do a trunnion repair, I usually put a Hillman brand machine bushing (5/8" X 1" X 14 Ga.) part number H#838937 behind the "Damper spring plate assembly" (part #1 On the "Transmission Controls" page of the narrow frame tractor parts manuals (all of them)). I get the bushings at TSC, they have them in those flat drawers, with different kinds of "specialty" parts.
The bushings fit very well in the recess on the back side of the damper plate and around the shaft (in the spot where the shaft isn't worn) the washer helps hold the damper plate parallel with the arm on the trunnion shaft using surfaces that have NO wear from prior use. The only trick here is sometimes the bushing is a little thick so I put it in the recess of the damper plate and "sand" a little of it off with a flat stone until I get the desired thickness to get the new snap ring on, then I use a little dry lube to help everything work smooth.
THERE, now you all know... I have dirty little secrets of my own... No wait, I'm thinking of something else.
Hopefully some of the other guys here aren't so bashful that they won't post some things that they know that the rest of us may not, or maybe they'll post some part numbers and retailers of parts that may save the rest of us some time, trouble and money.
