Getting there. Skyjack US emailed over the proper manual for it. Had another go today and found that it was just the top of the old pin had been hammered down into the frame with the location pin wedged in there as well. Managed to cut / drill it all out and get axle out. Will try and press the bent pin out of the axle tomorrow. I should have thought a grease nipple would be a good idea on that hub ? Cleaned up the good side and took a better photo which explains it all a bit better

Cuts alot of stuff, and yes it would leave alot of cleaning up to do.. it would be ideal of thae type of stuff thats just to light for the tree shear but to heavy for a flail.
I have a hedge to do that was sheared down 3 years ago and not touched since... should be ideal for that

Between dealing with the usual plumbing and heating disasters , had to get over to site as erection team had a soft tyre on handler. My big compresser at back of container. Got it out to find no fuel . Found fuel and got it filled only to find Mr Mouse or his big brother has taken a fancy to the rubber petrol line . And the battery was flat . Got the tire sorted with Dewalt cordless with a big battery in it. Pushed it upto 45psi on one battery. Back to HQ and borrowed garages 20t press to tackle the Skyjack kingpin. Didn’t budge with full pressure . Left it under load during lunch and it shifted itself thankfully. Bit of fighting to get it out. Think there are 2 brass bushes in there now which I’m not sure how to tackle them. Will wait for new pin and bushes before touching it. @V8Druid how would you suggest bush removal ? I’ve not googled it yet.

Rain stopped play today, but no bother as I'd got scrap man coming to collect an old jaguar so thought I'd stay at home for when they arrive...which they never did...tossers. Good job it was a rain day otherwise I'd of been even more pissed off.
Fortunately Mrs HM came to give me a hand this evening in the yard to get some expamet bolted onto the truck bed, so hopefully less slippy when it's cold/wet.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
take 'em out with a grooving/oil way chisel -- or less elbow work - a die grinder to groove 'em

About time they moved up north, we’re running out of ATM’s that haven’t been rammed round here.

If you have oxy acetylene, melt Them out down one side, the rest will chisel out. Don’t try to blow them out, or you’ll lose a lump off of the arm.

Little article in the local rag about what I've been up to the last few weeks. Had the weather on my side would NOT want to be doing in the wet.
