Help!I am in the process of reassembling a AC D-15 Series II engine and am replacing the pin in the camshaft that drives the oil pump. The original pin was rivited (flattened) on either end to hold it in the camshaft. The new replacement pin (Agco part #70910946 or 910946) is a hardened pin that is too hard to be rivited in place. I have broken two center punches and have only knocked a small piece out of the pin. I have spoken with numerous dealers and have found that the original was a 5/32"X 1 1/4 plain pin. They also tell me that the pin is supposed to be rivited in place. From the looks of it it appears that somewhere a incorrect substituation has been made in the material of the pin at AGCO, I have called every dealer I can find and cannot find any NOS pins, only the new replacement hardened pin. I am toying with the idea of using a 5/32" rivit but am afraid it will wear out very quickly. I really need to get this engine out of my shop. Any suggestions?? Thanks! Doc
