1200 Lift Rod Removal ?
 

I have a 1200 that I want to take apart and redo as a stock puller, I'm having problems getting what appear to be roll pins out of the lift arm and the lift shaft underneath

Anyone have any suggestions ???

purchase you some roll pin punches, PB blaster, and a hammer. soak the roll pins in PB every couple of hours or so for a few days. then take the correct size punch and give it a few good whacks till it is removed. thats how i removed mine!! hope that helps. jeff

Thats how I got my two off. A good quality punch the right size.
The latch rod inside both of my lift arms has been welded at the bottom. I am shopping for a good one should yours be in good condition and you willing to sale or trade.
Thanks, Tony

I have been doing that now for a couple of days but no luck yet guess I will just keep trying. Thanks for the advise. I'll let you fellows know if and when I get it off. Ron
