i am not the original requestor, but i have an issue with a 521 loader and not sure how to proceed
i managed to bend a support pipe that helps maintain the distance between the working arms of the loader. i ordered a new pipe from JD and it seemed a bit short to what i was expecting.
the pipe only goes between the 2 arms, and does not go thru the 2 arms as i would have expected. i am guessing there are short pins inside the rotating arms that need to driven out so the new pipe can be inserted.
i am not totally sure of the correct procedure without having a diagram of what is actually inside the joint and do not want to cut the pipe to get it out and start driving parts out without a bit more knowledge.
at this point the entire unit is still stable and usable, so i do not need to do this in a hurry, but i will be doing a bunch of tree removal shortly and using the front end loader forks a lot and would rather have everything in perfect order before starting this project
