Factory Wide Front Pin Removal, How To.....???

pauldeere · Oct 9, 2015

I recently purchased a 60 with a John Deere wide front. The tractor is somewhat restored and painted. The front end is set one hole
wider on the right side, I would like the front set the same on both sides. I have tried driving the pin out of the right front with
a sledge with no luck. What is the trick for getting these pins out?

Have you tried an air hammer ? They can move rusted things a hand operated one can't budge.
May have to soak it for a long time and or even apply heat ? I hate to heat cast iron though as it can sometimes make it crack easy.

I had to drill the last one out I removed. Had the axle off the tractor and used a magnetic drill press. It was a job but that turned out to be the easy part. The fun started when I tried to move the axle out.

Thanks for the ideas. The impact hammer after soaking the pin might be the way to go. Thanks again....
