Just thinking out loud here. I have not tried this. There are impact drills that have an impact only mode (Hilti Brand comes to mine). They can be used to drive ground rods in the ground. This type of impact might help.
Company not very helpfull on this to date.
dealer suggested I contact the company for part numbers....I thought that was their job!!
Its an old model, and not much info at the manufactureres but I would have thought that the design would have continued for some time.
Sutol, Sorry I can't help on removing the pin. But maybe this will help, some Kentucky bourbon.
Just a bit of advice......That pin is hardend steel. To much heat and may snap right off. The Flag is the keeper for the pin. From the looks of it the pin has been like this for a long while. May want to do like one post said"weld the flag to the boom and rotate the pin around a bit". Although i really do not think that will get this unit back up and running. Also you will have a hard time finding spacers for the ends.May try to find Babbet metal and make your own. Not the best but may work.....Good Luck
Do you have a good welder you can use? I would weld a long bar to that flag for leverage and then try to twist it back and forth to loosen it up.
