What is the secret for removing the hollow dowel pins in final drive that the drawbar is attached to. Drawbar won't fit unless they are removed. Have tried heat, soaked in Kroil, pipe wrench etc.

THey are tapped 5/8" NC, clean the threads out, screw a short bolt in, drive them out with a long punch from the outside in, or use a hollow ram porta power.

Thanks Lavoy. Got some of them out. It's amazing how tough rust weld is.

Got them out. Only one blackened finger nail in the process. Good thing it wasn't my middle finger, or I wouldn't be able to drive. lol
