450C Headless master track pin

Post by psprague » Sat Apr 30, 2016 10:17 am

I've been looking at breaking the track on my 450C. The parts catalog lists 2 types, a headed type with a retainer clip and a pressed in headless type. I have the headless type and from the stories I've heard, its quite the rodeo to get them out. Some say just burn it and buy a new one. After spending most of the afternoon yesterday on the phone with bigger and bigger dealers, I've come to the conclusion that the part number for it is, lets say, vague. Best thing I have managed to get is AT56694 listed as a "Equipment Pin Seal & Bushing Kit" and, of course, no picture. I did verify that I have OEM track links on it (Thanks Pape!)

Does anyone know if the pin types are interchangeable or that is the right number or what the right number might be?

Thanks and regards to all,

Paul

Edit: I found one based on that part number on Ebay and it has a pic. Looks right, I guess, but never know till its in hand. Amazon has one too but no pic. Its a bit more, but Amazon has a better return policy if it goes sideways.

Pretty much any drive master pin for a 450 should work as long as it is the correct diameter and length.

So even the different types are interchangeable?

Thanks!

Drive master fits all, headed master only links designed for it.
