How can you tell if a "High strength top pin" is being used? Does it look different? The pin is gold color with a flat head, no ring or anything to grab onto like the silver one in the 3pt arms.
Heres my problem with the L3130 and Woods 9000 backhoe. I could not get the top pin out. The tension was off the pin and it would move about 1/8" freely. The pin appears to be bent since the head of the pin does not look straight compared to the top link bracket. Could have had the BH off in well under 10 min if this hadn't happened.
I tried tapping on the end with a hammer but there is very little room. So all you can do is gently tap on it. While tapping on it the tapered part of the pin flattened out a little bit, not mushoomed. Lots of four letter words while at the farm. Home is 15 miles away and I had only the most basic of tools. I'll have to see about using a C clamp and a socket or something to press it out.
The BH is only a 3pt setup /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif but Woods will have the subframe mount in a few weeks and the dealer will put it on when it shows up./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'll be asking the dealer on Monday but thought I'd ask here since I'm full of patience. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
