Did the hinges come stock with bushings in them or is this used to rebuild them?

Stock had no bushings. Some rebuilding kits use bushings and some just use a larger pin.

I just finished rebuilding my hinges without using bushings. I order the oversize pins from Jim Carter. The pins I received did not have the knurling and sizing problem that is ourlined in the Tech Tip article. The pins were .001 smaller than a standard SAE drill bit size (forget size, 11/32?). Pins fit snug and knurling lenght was perfect. Pins must be cut to proper length.
