Case hardened pins

[Vinpetrol]

I got them in so I’m going to get them out !!!

Angus done it originally ! He’s to busy to do it again now but I have a good fabricator that works with him on the case so I will let you know the plan when we go at it ! It won’t be easy though .

I wouldn't put a case hardened pin in unless it isn't hardened at the ends were the weld is going as it will just crack the weld off over time!

Id go with a good pin maybe en8 and make sure the hitch is clamping it right from the start!

Thyat said, we could get 2 pins hardened along were the hitch catches only and could be welded in

Surely there should be little to no wear on the pins if a hydraulic hitch is closing properly?

It wasn’t for a while

Have you ever filled a tilt rotator pick up jaw and then line bored it ?

Is this not the done thing? I’ve heard someone does it locally to me but can’t find out who . I know Aiden’s done some very tidy line boring in the past
