What is this pin --part 2

[Jeff-oh]

Any Ideas for removing a stuck hinged implement pin from the back of the tractor?

Mine is held fast. I want to avoid pounding the pin end for concern of mushrooming the pin where the lock pin goes.

Put a wrench on it, maybe a small pipe wrench, and turn it. Also, heat at the intersections may help.

coat it good with penetrating oil for a few days.

after a few day take a small hammer and tap on it, then coat it good again,

just take your time, you do not want to break off or crack the differential housing.

best penetrating oil: 50/50% solution of auto trans fluid and acetone.

You may want to clean paint off pin before you drive it out. I used WD45, small punch and turned pin as it came out.If it gets tight, drive it back in and lubricate and turn to free up.

WD 40---The pin is made out of hard steel, you shouldn't damage it with small punch.

When all else fails you could try freeze spray, available from plumbing shops to freeze water in pipes in order to save turning off distant or non existant stop cocks. Try warming the cast gently and applying the spray only to the pin then tap gently.
