    Help getting lower draft link pin out

    Just had the same thing happen to my JD 4700. Same deal, pin wouldn't come out. It was getting hung up on the backhoe mount. I took a grinder to the old pin base and got it out in 10 minutes. I was careful not to grind too deep. Now time to buy a $120 pin!!!!

    Bent bucket cyl on model 48 backhoe

    I just had the same thing happen to my bucket. Bent the dam rod! I was reading your post .I think I am interested in going in the same direction. One quick question. Instead of putting bushings on the one end, why didn’t you replace that end of the new cylinder with the end from the original...
