    Busy Bee knee Milling machine Mississauga On. $2500

    Its a B048. I have the same mill. I bought mine in April 2009 for $3800. It came with a power feed on one axis and a coolant system. Busybee now sells the CX603 which looks like the same mill without the power feed or the coolant system. Its a good machine I really like mine.

    Any idea what this type of mount is called?

    I have been working on trucks for 43 years and I have never seen a bushing like that. The voids in the rubber are probably there to make for a softer ride. International uses a bushing with voids in the front cab mounts on the smaller trucks but its a lot bigger and presses into a casting.

    Any idea what this type of mount is called?

    What are the dimensions of the bushings? I remember helping someone replace a pair of similar bushings that held the rear suspension in place on a Dodge Aries.
