block heater finally showed up so I got that installed.
Then I tackled the pin, first I had to remove the coupler to clean the junk out of the bore.
the bore was ALOT worse then I thought, other side was actually good shape but this side is toast. if I do end up using this machine long term I'll end up machining a new boss to weld into the boom.
yesterday was much warmer then usual for us in Dec so I ended up working on my other cat... the snow cat! fuel tank was rusty so a while back I pulled the tank cut an end off and cleaned it out. so with the warm day I stuck it back in, not exactly a fun job! the rad has to be moved to get to the front 2 bolts and the rad bolts are miserable to reach.
