well there is heat or a long wrench (I use a 600 lbs. 3/4 drive torque wrench it is like over 3 ft. long) what is good about the torque wrench is you can monitor how much force you are putting on the bolt by setting the clicker. Or the old heavy duty impact wrench and hope you do not twist them off. One good thing if they are holding the loader on they should be a hardened bolt .

ok try to get any load off the pins that you can and heat still can be used and is there enough room and is there something you can hook a 2 jaw gear puller on and use it to push the pins out? Does the joints that the pins are in have grease fittings ? there are tools that force oil thru grease fittings to loosen them up when the grease gets hard so new grease can be added. How many pins are stuck and where are they on the loader?

I am assuming that you are writing about the golden looking pin, how about welding on a eyelet on it putting a hydraulic puller or a cable come along on it. Go to something that will not move with the puller, jam the bucket in the ground set the brake do whatever it takes to get the tractor where it will not move. Tension the pullers as much as you can then heat and beat the pin . A impact hammer might help if you can come up with one. I once pulled off a frozen axle bearing with a backhoe, sometimes you just gotta do things that aint normal.

” try an inertia puller (slide hammer)”. Dang. Been using those for almost 50 years (even moved frame rails on a VW Rabbit with a ten pounder) but never heard the term “inertia puller”
Hahahaha. That is the generic term for that type of tool because that is the type of force being applied. You are used to the colloquial term. I guess I’m just a generic type of guy. :wacko:

Question about applying heat. The problem area is smack in the middle of the loader bracket. The pin courses through the bolt head. Would I not want to heat the bolt to try and expand it rather than heat the pin?
I think I’m getting a better mental picture of it now. The pin actually passes through the bolt head, which is threaded into some other part. No? Have you tried turning the bolt head to relieve the load on the pin?

Yes the bolt is captured in the frame of the loader which then slides into the mount attached to the tractor. The pin courses thru both and the bolt head, when the nut is tightened it stress the pin securing it in place. There is currently no tension anywhere in the construct, simply just cannot get the pin to slide out of the bolt head, which I can barely see as it is smack in the middle of the whole apparatus. Additionally the pin is pulled out from the inside (towards the engine) so to use some sort of puller I would have to cut the head of the pin off and possibly render the system in usable if I could not finish the job. So at this point more penetrant, and then heating the treads of the bolt you can see in the picture to try and expand the head some, followed by vigorous pounding with a sledge.

I’ve had a lifetime of that stuff all over me and my clothes working almost excursively at General Motors dealerships. Their frames and sub-frames are dipped in it, and it’s mixed with black carbon to give it that “black framerail” look.

You are not alone. Hahahaha. International trucks must have used the same stuff. I also worked for a shop that rebuilt and sold WWll army tank and truck components. Cosmoline was EVERYWHERE!
