Unimog 3 point linkage ram

[Kevm]

If the pin is loose ie. still turns/moves in the centre bit, the arm that the cyl. is pushing then it is only tight in the two yokes either side, which is where it is supposed to be tight.

First make sure there are no burrs on the bit sticking out, give it a file up and rub with emery, then you will have to heat the yokes with oxy/acetylene to break the rust and tap the pin out, be better if you have a soft punch to go against the end of the pin like a piece of round aluminium so you don't burr up the pin.

Looks like it is real awkward to get to to give it some decent hits, is there any way of taking something else off or dropping the cyl. off at the top to get at it better?

The pin ain't budging! As we think the ram might be slightly bent it's getting cut off later! Then shiny new rams with shiny (expensive) U bolts going on!

Did you get the air sorted?

Yes Dave. Might have been a bit of a hole in a pipe I hadn't seen. When filling the system from the garage compressor (drivers side tank), I noticed it when I turned the compressor off. Still.. learned all about the air dryer etc etc and now have meths in there instead of old sludge. All the air tank/lines seem a lot happier!

£328.56 is that the price for two u bolts and a bit of round bar with a groove one end?

I had heard that mogs were expensive!
