No road...no problem.
Ham radio mast or antenna element....
Are these are the mythical 1/8" pipes that get used to burn out pins?They about 3’ long and all nest inside each other?
I would say oxy lance. Hook it up to an oxygen bottle, spark it up with a battery and some jumper cables and burn the shit out of pins. I drive those bitches down the center pin pins to shrink them enough to get them out of a stick hole .

Same deal. They are rod that burns hot and you shoot oxygen down them at the same time to get the steel to burn. You can push them down through a 12” long pin no problem other than getting showered by sparks lol.Are these are the mythical 1/8" pipes that get used to burn out pins?
Small end towards the oxy lance big end to the pin?
We only use the exo-thermic lances, I guess the same thing but use magnesium ish rods inside to provide the "fuel".
I had to YouTube what that was. That's a pretty cool process that I feel dumb for not knowing it existed.They about 3’ long and all nest inside each other?

Yeah work great but they are pretty much a last case deal. Just because of the shower of sparks . 90psi of pure oxygen blasting out the end of a thermite rod that is burning what could go wrong .I had to YouTube what that was.

It's not if you are going to be severely burned just where..Yeah work great but they are pretty much a last case deal. Just because of the shower of sparks . 90psi of pure oxygen blasting out the end of a thermite rod that is burning what could go wrong .
It’s crazy how tight those bottom boom cylinder pins get. The engineers did the math right in those. Either that or the guy who was assembling the loaders were dipping the pins in a salt water before sticking them in lolIt's not if you are going to be severely burned just where..
They are bad ass though, about the only way to get the bottom lift cylinder pin out on a 980.
Not sure if I've told you my theory but I want to try loctiting the pins in with 641 retaining compound. Then try pulling the pin by heating the frame and using the press group, thinking the loctite might prevent rusting.It’s crazy how tight those bottom boom cylinder pins get.

Also grease!Not sure if I've told you my theory but I want to try loctiting the pins in with 641 retaining compound. Then try pulling the pin by heating the frame and using the press group, thinking the loctite might prevent rusting.
Use a couple thou undersize pin or oversize bore and solder the gap. Removal should just require a weed burner and hammer.Not sure if I've told you my theory but I want to try loctiting the pins in with 641 retaining compound.

grease and anti-seize don't work, tried that MANY times...Also grease!
That might work but a custom pin is way outside of the scope a revenue shop technician.Use a couple thou undersize pin or oversize bore and solder the gap. Removal should just require a weed burner and hammer.
Yeah that’s a no go. We are talking pins that are hard as glass and blind pinholes in the sides of a loader frame. The frame is 2”+ thick at the pin locations. No way you gonna get that bitch hot enough to solder without fucking up the cylinder you’re installing.Use a couple thou undersize pin or oversize bore and solder the gap.

and no way the solder doesn't just squeeze out, even hard solder or bronzeYeah that’s a no go. We are talking pins that are hard as glass and blind pinholes in the sides of a loader frame.

Silver solder would hold up but you would never get it hot enough to get it to flow in the joint. I do like arse_sidewards off the wall suggestions but it shows he has never messed with this shit irl for a living.and no way the solder doesn't just squeeze out, even hard solder or bronze
