Heyh guys. I got a kind of serious issue here. On my 300u, the rear hitch's upper pin holder grease zerks are broken off. I want to replace them, but they are pressed in and broken off so I need to drill them out, retap the hole abnd put new ones in. Now I need to remove the main rod. I got both end bolts off (that was fun!), and the left cylinder arm, splined hitch arm. Apprently the rod is stepped up, because i cannot push the rod to the right and take it out. So I tried to remove the right hitch arm, but it is frozen on the spline. i have tried soaking it in penetrating oil for days, torched the arm up with my carbon arc (hence the discoloration) and used ice to cool the rod. I have been using a 2 pound sledge and a 1X1X2 chunk of brass stock (as to not damamge the bolthole threads) to pound the rod to the left to get the arm off. I removed the tire and fender to get more swing, no luck. NOTHING even budges it. Am I doing something wrong? Short of cutting the arm in 2 and trying to find a replacement I am at a loss.
If I cant get it off, I guess I'll just have to use a syringe and put grease in whats left of the zerks. It really sucks, there no slop in them yet, and I want to fix them RIGHT, but everyhting keeps going wrong =( The left side came off so easily, because up until i tried pulling the left zerk out and broke it off (I thought maybe the lower part of the zerk was binding up the rod), it has been lubed regularaly, so the spline didnt rust. Not the right side =( If asnyone has one of these arms laying around and would ship it to me via media mail (the cheapest), I'll just cut the damn thing in 2 and that should get it off, but I dont wanna do that just yet.
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
Thanks for helping me out guys, without you I'd have slapped some c4 on this baby a long time ago =P

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
