Oliver 88 clutch pedal pivot pin problem ....

I posted this over on the Oliver forum a few hours ago, no replies there yet so I'll try here. I'm posting this for a friend so here goes. He has an Oliver 88 Std and he wants to remove the pivot pin that the clutch pedal pivots on. It is either pressed or threaded into the left side of the transmission housing. He's not sure how it is anchored .... ie. by threads or perhaps it is pressed in? So far he can get a very small amount of movement counter clockwise and then back clockwise but not much more so he's a bit iffy proceeding without knowing more. If he knows it is threaded for sure then he will apply heat and proceed to remove it by un-threading the pin counter-clockwise. If it is pressed in then he will deal with that as necessary. Can anyone here confirm how that pivot pin is anchored into the side of the tranny?
 
i went and had a look at my parts unit and dont see any sign of threads it would not surprise me if it was pressed in.

I know on a Massey Harris 101 for example it is threaded but the pivot shaft has a hex on the shaft right next to the transmission which would indicate a thread to deal with it to assemble or remove. Food photo, I think you nailed it. If it is a press fit then it would probably be a tapered fit would it not?
 
most likely interferance fit. could weld a nut on the end then use a slide hammer after heating the housing.
 
I saw those Tom ..... I forwarded that link and your comments to my friend. Thanks ... I'm sure you are 100% correct on it being a pin.
 
I'm not familiar with that model. I get a little too fussy sometimes and the pedal stop pin for the brakes on my 1550 looked like it was bent upward a bit. Thought I'd straighten it. Just a light rap with a two pound hammer and PING. Furthur investigation showed it just a 5/8 dowel pin pressed into the support casting. I tried driving it through but it's really in there and I didn't want to risk cracking the support. I put a quarter inch roll pin through the lower end of the locking arm so it hits the lock pawl when the pedals are up.
