Finger mower bar removal

[Jsmith2211]

Hello,

I need to remove the bar from my mf 732 finger mower i am restoring. The bar is bent and so needs to be straightened out by the local mechanic... Thing is, i need to get the pins out where it pivots. They have a bolt that looks like it was holding the pin in, so do i just bash this out? I have unbolted all of the bolts holding it in at that end, but there is one more that seems to be hitting the pivoting assembly when i try to undo it.

Thanks

James

3 bolts hold the bar to inner skid two hold keeper plate under drive end third bolt to rear and bar will come away without farther dimantling. if you want complete assy off remove breakback assy and its brackets two small bolts on front pivot housing and will slide out of main body of mower
