fordmajor Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Some have [one screw ] While others have a rivet in chassis [ just above the 1975 date on plastic base insert] Use a small pilot drill , then larger one to drill off rivet head. Never seen a treaded pin. In theory should be able to leaver off? or this may be a refix job . Treaded pin may have been used like a self tapper try un screwing it? Refixing super glue, self tapping screw [ either large one or small with washer. Watch out as each axel has two small springs easily lost. If the springs are [ not springing ] you can try stretching them. I have used old biro pen springs which need to be cut in half.

Tractorman810 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 threaded pins are out there and they are an arse to get off no head on top, just a dome and no way to add a cut to it to attempt to unscrew, they were pushed in ,last one i did was removed via a punch and hammer from underneath, only way to get it out without damaging the plastic seats/ tub part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for butting in here but thank you for the tip, I would like to locate an old Siku John Deere 6920 and glaze the cab but was put off by the fogging on other glues, but this looks great.

Stabliofarmer Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Sounds like they can be a bit tricky to prise apart Paul, or this blog post certainly makes a meal of it https://code3landies.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/britains-series-3-full-restoration/ From memory I took one apart years ago and pretty sure I just attacked the domed rivet/pin/screw with a good sharp drill bit and popped the chassis off without any drama.

Exactly right Sean the pin is recessed so only way is and as James and Jim have said is to drill it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
