Bar on loader

Before replacing it, I would stick a 2x4 between the bent one and the big one and pry it as straight as possible and see if that worked.

Here is the installation procedure for a 512 loader:

OK I can't figure how to get it out. I replaced one of the bucket holders and took the whole rig apart, but for the life of me I can't figure how to do it now.

On my 220r loader, that's called a "drilled pin". Looks like the only way to get it out is whack on it with a hammer. Which may be near impossible, since it's bent. May just have to cut it and get a new one.

While I like prying better than hammering, you're likely to bend the thin wall tube of the "big one", if you don't heat the rod first. That zinc-plated rod is solid steel, whereas the larger tube is hollow and probably only about 1/16" wall.

As noted, the smaller rod is not part of the strength or lifting geometry, it is only designed to keep the independent JDQA wrist pivots in rough synchronization when there's no implement attached to the JDQA. It isn't "Swiss optics precision" perfect, but it does the job... kinda.

... and I thought this thread was going to be about getting loaded at the bar.

Well, I finally went to my Deere dealer & bought a new "drilled pin". $250 with tax (ouch!) I had to cut the old one. It was bent in three places: the middle and both ends. I never would have gotten it out otherwise. It's a solid bar, not a tube. The alignment was definitely out of whack - couldn't lift anything right. Working great now. So, the lesson learned is - don't bump into anything with it and don't try to lift anything with it.

I was going to suggest welding a piece of angle iron to strengthen it... but that would just transfer the weakest point somewhere else, which likely would be even more money.
