Mf 54 backhoe drum

[davo727]

Is there a big nut under the bottom pivot flange? The drum is held to the pivot by some kind of fasteners up from the bottom.

I removed the bolt that went up from the bottom, it is about 5" long, but it didn't seem to help. There is a large bolt and nut that runs horizontal, did not remove that yet. Backhoe attachment is outside and it has been raining for the past 3 days.

Did you make any headway on this?

No luck. Got a parts diagram from local dealer. Removed bottom bolt and big nut from bottom of swing drum and removed 2 bolts from top which look to hold a pin that goes in from top. Probably doing something wrong ot it is seized. Nothing seems to b splitting apart.

Does anyone know any tricks to getting the lower pivot pin out of the bottom of the drum/mount. Ive unbolted it but it just wont come out. It moves a little up and down when i tap on it with a hammer but it wont drop out of the bottom. I need.to get the pin out because it needs to be replaced after noticing that its broken off at the flange that the mounting bolts go through on the bottom

The pin Has a snap ring on it to stop it falling out , With the swing motor out the pin lifts out once the big nut is off
There is an exploded diagram on the agco site AGCO Parts Books
