OK guys this pin is a bear, I made a puller using a piece of 2" box tubing with washers on the end, threaded a piece of 1/2-13 Grade 8 all-thread into the pin, and ran a nut onto the all-thread, heated the frame with the cutting torch, pulled on a 3/4" wrench as hard as I dared, and nothing moves. Any suggestions?

When I disassembled my Super 55 I had the front frame with the axle center section tilted up in the garage so that the pin was vertical. It soaked in pentetrating oil for over half of a year. A 20 ton press still wouldn't move the pin. I decided that I really didn't need to remove the pin anyway! third party image

I was going through the archives and one fellow had to drill it out. The worst thing was he was 500 feet into the woods.

The tractor is on jack stands and I have removed the set screw from the bottom of the frame.
Thanks

used this idea a few times in a desparate time of need. after heating the heck out of the housing youve actually heated the pin as well, thus nothing has loosened up. so while its all hot, get a good impact wrench and a gallon of water. pour the water unspareingly on everything. you must have your puller tight and ready to go. the shock of the fast cooldown might just free things up. most people will tell you not to do this as it will crack the metal, and this is true. but i done it last week on a cast iron gearbox and it worked fine and didnt crack. ive never had any problems doing this.

Well I managed tomove thepin about 1/8", and it is broke in th middle, so now it has to come out. Plan to keep pulling and on it and apply more heat.
