But a tractor last month and been trying to get it ready. When Kubota says grease pins every 10 hrs, they mean it. They don't chrome plate the pins so its reg steel to steel. Not sure if loader was ever greased, but there is orange paint on the zerk's.
In any case, I have taken a torch to the pin and rod end, and its still not budging. It was glowing red where ever the torch was, and I'm starting to worry about the seal end on the rod. I'm hitting it with a 10 pound sledge back and forth, but next to no movement.
Thinking about removing the cylinder and mount so it can be laid on the ground. Looking for ideas of how the pin might be removed.
