    Torch it off. Your gonna throw it in the trash anyways. It’ll take more time to roll the torch over to it than to torch it off.

    Serious question, what adjustments could have been made to prevent that?

    Sway bars or chains. It comes from turning with the 3pt down and over torquing the holding pin. You have to create a tight connection with little to no sway.

    In 33 years, I’ve never seen one break the actual hitch pin though. I’m guessing there was a stress crack there or something. Usually it breaks the locking pin which can be prevented as stated above and with spacers or washers to distribute the pressure.

    I agree. Have never seen on of this break. This tractor/bush hog is used mostly for hunting club stuff so it does a lot of tight turns. Not my tractor but best friends and his 2 teen boys cut with it all the time, in fact they were out at farm shooting skeet while I was cutting . Older bush hog and looks like the only original pin/bolt on it . Can tell rest of them have been replaced He has an impact wrench and we going to try that today after work but I just do not see that working because entire pin/bolt spins .

    The flanged edge makes it hard without a cutting torch. It is easier on the threaded side. It takes a 15/16s wrench, if it can be turned,...,most can't.


    A pipe wrench or two, a good 15/16 wrench, and a cheater bar would my 1st attempt.

    Whatever happened to the hen house building days? Those were pretty enjoyable, wouldn't mind doing something like that again

    I did all kinds of work with the hen houses a couple years ago.. I mean cutting things, stuffing, along with cooking, and general supervision with 2th.

    Looks like to me the lift arm was probably sliding back and forth on that pin and finally hit the clip pin hard enough or enough to break it.

    BIG pipe wrench was the trick, my buddy broke it free with that . Was able to get pipe wrench on it and it was long enough to wedge it so it did not move

    But I do... Problem is, they don't work if you don't carry the bush hog right. I reminded myself that I tore up a bunch of stuff learning, as well.

    Good point, Slaya. Fortunately I've also got a slip-clutch on my main one.

    Me, too, plus a shear bolt for good measure. Need me to lend you the boy, and he can show you how to not run that thing correctly? LMAO. Mine is green, which may be part of the issue, also - they ain't what they used to be.
