Axle Pivot Pin Removal

BIL held my biggest punch with vise grips while I wailed on punch with 5lb then 8lb maul, finally got it to budge .001 and rest was simple

IDEAS:
make triple sure that the locking devise is out

make sure weight is off the casting and axle can wiggle, pin might be sitting in a groove

if you have a hollow pin, suggest heating inside of pin and then letting it cool several times, expansion/contraction sometimes works pin loose

use lots of PB Blaster or your favorite brand of panther pee, I have read about putting bees wax on the join after getting it hot, wax supposed to draw into the joint, never had to try it

after you get it out, put anti-seize on new pin my new one was hollow and slid in with finger pressure

please keep us posted

now that I think of it, I think I hammered the old pin back/forth a bit to work the PB into the join

my new pin slid in, I think your tractor is a lot bigger, might account for the difference

at least you are set for another 2 years or so
