Looking for tips on how to remove a tapered lower pin on a Bobtach attachment?
Looking for the best way to remove a tapered lower pin on your bobcat's bobtach? When I replaced the tapered pins and bushings on my 753 bobcat, I first removed the grease zerk for the tapered pin on the bobtach. Next, I loosened the bolt on the loader arm that connects to the tapered pin and tapped it with a heavy hammer. By removing the zerk, the tapered pin was able to slide into the bobtach housing without obstruction. As I continued to loosen the bolt and tap it, the pin was gradually driven in further.
During the maintenance of my 753 Bobcat, I upgraded the tapered pins and bushings. To do this, I first removed the grease zerk for the tapered pin on the bobtach. Next, I slightly loosened the bolt on the loader arm that connects to the tapered pin and used a 32-ounce ball pein hammer to tap it in. This allows the tapered pin to easily fit into the bobtach housing without any obstructions. By progressively loosening the bolt and tapping it with a hammer, I was able to securely drive the pin in further. This process ensures a proper fit and smooth operation of the equipment.
Do you recall the amount of torque applied to those pin bolts? Remembering the torque specifications for pin bolts is crucial for ensuring proper installation and maintenance.
Bvill01 inquired about the torque required for pin bolts. The specification is potentially 250 ft-lbs, but for accurate information, @willie59 may have better insight. I will make it a point to refer to my bobcat service manual to confirm the correct torque value when I have some free time.
