Can you help me with the location of the clutch/brake pedal shaft bushing set. This is Bowtiebits PN AD-475-MEC-938. I don’t see bushings in the Assembly manual (section 5, sheet 2.00j unless they are supposed to be the 3684453 “spacers” shown on that page. I ordered these figuring they are a wear item and would likely need to be changed.
The bushings don't appear in the Assembly manual (I suppose because they came with the pedal arms. The spacer is a washer that goes between the pedals.
That PN you posted are the bushings that you'll need to press into the pedal arms. It's probably a good idea to change them.

If your bushings are worn out your peddles will move to the point we’re they scrape the sheetmetal in the floor .you can wiggle the peddles to see from above .there is a bit of adjustment were the peddle bolts to the leaver .there is also a grease fitting that needs to be greased .I think there are two types of bushings a original size and a oversize that needs to be sized with the shaft as sometimes the shaft gets worn . Here is a picture the bushings are in we’re I circled.
The adjustment is we’re the peddle attaches to the arm . but if there is too mush play in the bushings then when you push on the peddle it moves and it may be to much play you can try loosening the bolt and move the peddle to centre it in the hole.or were it won’t rub when you push on the peddle.one other thing that may make a difference is the condition of the cab mounts.

Depends on where the pedals are rubbing. If on the side, it's the bushings. If on the top, the cab mounts have colllapsed. Where the pedals bolt to the arms is keyed, so there's very little adjustment available there. The other (remote) possibility is the arms are bent. Very likely the bushings are the problem.
