Raymond Bronze Mast Bushing 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.5 – 460-488

This bronze mast bushing is built for Raymond 7400 and 7500 series reach-fork trucks, sized at 1.5 inches outside diameter, 1.2 inches inside diameter, and 1.5 inches in length. It seats at a pivot point in the mast or carriage assembly, where bronze construction gives it a low-friction wear surface between two moving metal components, absorbing the wear that would otherwise happen directly between the mast and carriage structural members. Bronze bushings in this application are a deliberate wear part: the softer bronze material wears preferentially to protect the more expensive mast and carriage components around it, meaning the bushing is designed to need replacement on a service interval rather than lasting the life of the truck.

At approximately 0.20 pounds, this is a small, precisely sized component, so the OD, ID, and length all need to match the bushing being replaced exactly for the mast or carriage to move smoothly without binding or excess play. A worn bushing typically shows up as looseness, uneven wear on the mating surface, or a rougher feel in the mast's travel, the practical signal that it has reached the point of replacement. Confirming these three dimensions against the bushing coming out of the truck, rather than the general size class alone, is the fitment check that matters here.
