Hydraulic Gear Puller

[Tinkerer]

I never knew there was such a tool. Harbor Freight - $99.00. A fellow member sent me this photo of the worst rusty bucket pin I ever saw. He sawed through the both sides of the pin to get the bucket off . He was quite clever by having a machine shop make a big washer to give the puller a way to grip the boom. The pin was seized when he purchased the backhoe.

I can see myself testing its limits. Looks handy though.

I have a smaller version, of that. Its hydraulic, but uses a screw, to push the fluid, works pretty good. I see the sense in buying tools from HF, for single use jobs, its all in how much $ you have to invest, to get a job done...
