This is Steve back with the rebuild, I have not posted in a while as I was working on the snow blower that came with my tractor years ago when I purchased it.
I was not in a big hurry as I have an old ATV eith a plow that I use for heavy snow.
After my LED head light conversion was all done and winter was hear I decided to start ply with the blower. As I worked on it when I had extra time I depressed the over ride plate to push it around the shop as I got plw stuff fixed. Few months later Grass needs cutting and my tractor is stuck in push mode. St max rpm. Soak pins with wd40. Nothing. And I lubed these a year ago.
Now I have both out. I don't want to damage anything so I ask here. I do plan on soak heat heads in Zepreserve. Thought of apply some heat around pins with micro torch? I font think they come apart with out Digger lathe trick. They always worked in past so I hate to replace them. I even used the manual lever many times but never left pins down so long. I did use a 6-point 1 inch socket and sears Breaker bar to remove. They were not easy to loosen.
Anyone got idea how I can push the pins back up. I will attach photo
