Front end loader

The magnetic drill was a Milwaukee and it sure made the job easier. You just hit the button and a very strong magnet sticks what is esentially a small drill press onto your work. Sideways, upside down, any old way. No way I could have done all that drilling with just a 1/2" drill motor.
Next I put the bolts into the fresh holes put the flat washers on, and drilled the 5/16" holes for the spring pins. Drove the spring pins in and used a angle grinder with a thin abrasive cut off wheel to cut the extra bolt length off and viola new pins in my loader. I bought the grade 8 bolts extra long so that only the unthreaded part (shoulder) got used.
Had all my ducks in a row - bolts, drill bit, washers and spring pins in hand, mag drill reserved for 8 am Sat.
The whole job took me about 6 hours to do including running twice to rent and return the Mag Drill. At $60+/hr. for the local machine shop to do basically the same thing I figured I saved a bundle.
Worst part about the job was lugging that mag drill around. It was heavy 80? lbs.
Made a world of difference in the loader.
I'm glad I did it. Good luck
