How to remove stuck roll pin

[3crows]

You can't take the ram apart while it's in the boom. It's inside the boom. The opening clearance from the pin down the boom is about 3'. The ram is about 4.5' long with the rod drawn all the way in. You have to pull the pin and slide the ram back and up. to get it out. I used an engine hoist to get it out 'cause it was too bleed'n heavy for this old man to lift. I'm waiting for a gland wrench to take it apart and I'm hoping that won't be as much fun to take apart as it was to get the pin out.
Thanks agrimax, for the part numbers.

Hmmmm, ordered the seal but can't find the pivot pin with that part number.

What's wrong with the old pin?
Seems a common number via Google...

I burned part of it off in the process of removing it. I've only seen 2 online. Both were over $250 and both were in UK. I can buy a 2" X 9" piece of heat treated 4140 steel locally for $65 And that's probably what I'll end up doing . Not quite the right size but good enough for the girls I go with.

Haven't come up with a replacement pin yet. Do you think an annealed 4140 pin would work? I think I can get a heat treated 4140 pin but it wouldn't be polished, which might take a toll on the bushing.

Daft question but have you checked the hardness of the old pin? A local engineering company could probably knock you up a cheaper replacement out some EN24T?
