Newb question for pulling blade cylinder linkage pins on D6N

Browning.270 ยท 2016-02-16 20:31

So today i found the zerk not taking on 6N blade angle cylinder. Its on the side where the cylinder meets the main frame, and has a hose to the zerk since its not realy accessible. I took the cap off and threaded a long bolt into the pin and used a deep socket with washers on the bolt head to tighten it up and eventually get it to come out. My question is, does Cat make a puller for all-thread to pull these pins that isnt hydraulic? Ive searched around and might have missed something, but i was wondering how the Cat mechanics would pull these pins?? Thanks for in help in advance!

    What's the s/n. Not for sure exactly the fitting your talking about but our d6n pat blade takes a 60ton hollow ram to pull the center pit for the tilt cylinder.

    Il let you know the SN tomorrow when i get back to the shop. Its the right cylinder on the machine side of it,that moves the blade in or out. The pin is right about level with the track pad as i had to raise the blade/frame way up and block it up to be able to get to the pin. It has a cap over the end of the pin with 3 bolts holding the cap on. The center of the pin is threaded, and im assuming thats for using a puller. I was just wondering if there was a simple mechanical type puller for these pins using all-thread
