Rocker pin removal?

[Dr_Rockwell14]

Hello, im just trying to confirm that the long lower pin on the rocker can be removed? Im trying to add stay chains for a brushhog and that pin is giving me a fit.

Yes. Just decades od paint, rust, corrosion..

And, being a long pin, might even have a joint in the middle, to "bend" it to clear the left side fender when removing it! More places for rust to bind it up. Good luck. You will probably need the blue wrench and a lot of band-aids, and no children around! zuhnc

Unless you have some other reason to remove the long pin, why not get a 6" pin for the toplink to rocker and connect the stay chains there?
That is only option fpr those with late 49-52 models unless they fabricate something.
