Bob:

 

I had a similar problem with a 702. I am not a fan of drilling the 1/8" oil holes in the halves near the split - that is just another place for water to collect.

I did sacrafice the original pin by cutting it in 2 places between the slot hitch & the transmission - this allowed removal of the hitch. I then drilled a 9/16" hole almost thru what was stuck in the tramsmission. I then used an air chisel with a round tip & it came right out - same for the hitch pieces.

I then made up a new hitch pin out of 3/4" cold rolled steel in the lathe, a little shorter than the original. I then added short undercuts the outside diameter by .010 inch in 3 places - the center and the 2 spots where the hitch rides. Then both ends were drilled deep & tapped 1/4-28 for grease fittings. The last step was to add 1/8" holes in the middle of the undercuts to intersect the grease holes. No problems after 2 years of use.

Spud bar, 2 cans of PB Blaster, 1/2 can WD-40, Naval Jelly and 3 grown men taking turns.  Took 3 weeks of soaking.

      Hello, I have a gt14 and a old brinly cultivator but I need the correct hitch to put on my tractor (clevis hitch) would clevis hitch fit on the back of a gt14 the same way as a another tractor or will I need to make adjustments? Anything helps? thanks!

      How do I get this pin out,  I've tried heat, rust penetrate, and an air hammer, and just rust penetrate and the air hammer.    I can't get it to move, no matter what I do,,and yes I removed the clips from both ends.  I knew you were thinking about that

      This might be a dumb question but i'm sure some of you have dealt with this. How do you get the pin out of the rear when it is rusted in there? I just bought a clevis hitch today but i cant get the pin out to put it on.
