I noticed that the front axle center pivot no longer has bushings. I split the tractor and pulled the engine for a rebuild and cleaned out about a gallon bucket of crud out of the casting that the axle pivots on and the pin is rusted pretty bad and flakes off, but is pretty much the same diameter. I tried to drive out the small pin that holds the pivot pin in and it won't budge. I remember someone here posting they replaced theirs and was a pain in the tail. Any ideas or suggestions?? I am going to check and see if I can still get the pin and bushings before I get out the heat wrench and big hammer. Thanks Kent

The Utility front axle is a pain in the kiester to work on, we have fixed ours 3 times. Usually we pull the axle and bolster off as a unit and let a welding shop get it apart, first time that heavy pin was broken and had run that way for a while. Frankly this axle won't last under heavy loader work from what I have seen, a straight instead of swept axle shoulda been an option. The one we have had a loader but we sold that off when we got it.
The rear sweep puts a lot of pry on that piviot pin.

Kev, Do you know how the welding shop removes the pin?? I am afraid mine is "frozen in" and will have to use a torch and cut the center out and drive the ends toward the middle and cut off as they wont come out of the "hole" down in the middle in the axle support. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks Kent
