Had the small "control lever" on the (#8 on parts list) Needle Safety latch break off while baling. Need to have it re-welded. How do I get Pin (#18 on parts list) out? I have found two grease fittings on the outside of the latch. Does the base of the grease fitting screw into a groove on the pin and thereby hold it in? (I never knew those grease fittings were there until today!) When I was checking, I didn't have tools with me to remove the grease fittings. I couldn't feel a cotter key or snap ring or any thing else that I thought would be holding that pin (#18) in place, but need to remove it in order to take the latch to a welding shop for re-attaching the "control lever". Looks like there is a hole in the metal above that pin to insert a punch to drive out the pin if necessary. Otherwise, very little access to the pin. Help will be appreciated!
