Thanks guys. Would it help if I did the ATF and acetone with heat? I never struggled this much to get some pins out of a 3pt lift arm!!

WD40 is not a penetrating oil. It is a protective film hence "Water Displacement 40th Formula" not PF40. Regular oil will penetrate as well if not better than WD40, however WD40 is better than nothing, hence why people believe that it is a penetrating fluid. - end rant

remember.. wd 40 also sells penetrant, white lithium, silicone.. etc.. etc. under the wd-40 'specialists' trade name.

heat and quench is often usefull.

for that i might use atf and diesel to reduce the fire hazard.

Can you post a picture of what it is you are trying to separate?

Have had good luck on smaller parts with the LocTite branded Freeze n release. A little spendy per can but can be safer than heat depending on where the part is.

Will post a picture of what I'm trying to separate later but it's the yoke at the top of the 3pt link arms, I'm trying to get the pin out. The pin appears to be rusted into the holes.
I tried heating it and putting a homemade press and cranking the sh*t out of it. Only ended up bending some 1" sq bar and breaking some welds. This thing is real solid in there!!
