Finally had a chance to get these bucket teeth done. Burned the top side and the sides off with oxy/acetylene torch, pounded them off.
The roll pins, I heated, burned off the peened over ends from trying to pound them out, heated both sides, used a punch to drive each side till they broke free. Stubborn as heck!
Centers of them, packed with dirt and wedged small pea size stone, no way I could clear to get the center open to let the flame and slag through. Hit that oxygen, get a face full of hot slag like that, so I did not even try to. I did slather some anti seize in the holes before putting new teeth on, maybe they won't bond with rust. They went in tight, good fit.
