Hi I worked on a massey the other week for a guy. as long as the relevant fixing hard ware is removed his could come out either way in theory. The problem we found was one or both sides of the pins was seized in the boss. he had tried beating on them with a 2 lb toffee hammer, then heated them with an industrial sized cutting torch, Not your hand held plumbing type torch. His next mistake. after heating the pin moved about an 1/8 inch with the 2lb hammer and stuck pretty solid as it cooled.
What he should of done was heat and cool the area right down with cold water before moving the pin. Thats an old blacksmith trick I was taught many years ago and works for nuts and bolts and other things to. with the heat still present it caused the shaft to gall( burr) up in the bushing as it moved and cooled. That one I had to beat out with a 14lb sledge hammer and it took about 30 mins hard hitting with a big piece of shaft as a punch and more heat and cool. When it finally came out there was a huge amount of rust on the pins, and you could see the scoring on the pin
The next 1 we took off wouldn't move so we heated both bosses and cooled them right down and started with the penetrating oil it popped out pretty easy. the last one we heated a couple times before it came out that was stuck one side only.
The hard part is you may have only one side or both tight and dont know which on a big boom section. The other thing is you can get a step in the pin where the cylinder sits you may get a bit of movement then the cylinder eye drops in the groove, depending on the way the weight sits then you cant beat the pin from the step until you get it to line up nice.
The one thing you wont want to hear is my buddy rebuilt the boom on his track hoe they had about 30 hours heating cooling, and a custom built hydraulic pin pusher with 100 ton capacity to get one pin out. they can be in that tight and he said when it popped it sounded like a large cannon going off. If the pins burred from previous attempts you got to get that sorted as well the slightest flare on one or both ends of the pin can kinda rivet them in the bosses to, and make life real fun. Sorry the post long but that covers prety well what you might find in this project. Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - 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
