Removing Rusted Pins From Rod to lift Arm Knucle

I would like to remove the pins from the Rod to Hydraulic Arm Knucle on a 1948 8N. They are rusted in. I have tried a punch and hammering with mild heat. No luck. I do not want to damage anything.
I would appreciate any suggestions that might help me get these pins out.
Thanks
 
There isn't much that a rosebud won't loosen up. Do you have an oxy-acetelyne rig?
Also, do you have the wheels off?
It sure makes it easier to get a good swing with a hammer if they are off.
Fenders too of course.
 
like UD said.
Some of those can give you a real tussle.
Heat and lots more heat, getting stuff like fenders out of the way sometimes is needed.
couple tips
if you are doing this by hand, use a punch chisel, not just a hammer. mushroom the end of it and it really gets tough.
Jobs like this where you don't want to break other stuff.....
....air hammers rule.
buy one, rent one, borrow one, drive the tractor to where there is one.

last resort which I've only ever had to do once. Surgical precision with a small cut-off wheel on each side of the knuckle, then work on the stubs with the link out of the way
 
Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate your help. I plan to try both suggestions and some others. Will let you know what works.
Thanks Again
 

I have had to cut them out with a sawsall then put the knuckle in a press to push the pin out... Beating on it makes it worse it brads and swells the pin... They can be tuff to remove...
 
I worked for hours to remove a pin on used backhoe I recently purchased. What makes me upset is some don't see anything wrong leaving tractors outside. Rain makes rust, that simple. I had to fix front bucket that Sat outside for 15years. There were rust holes in the corners. Now watch, some will say there is nothing wrong leaving toys outside. I think it should be a sin.
