Remember I said my 3-point arm extensions were stuck on my Cat tractor? One I got pretty easy but tried everything on the other and it would not come. Ended up building a giant slide hammer and welding it on the end of hitch. Welded a chain to end of slide hammer chained to other tractor and tightened with load binder. Then start slamming the slide hammer. Started coming after about 4-5 hard hits. Probably about a 30 lb. weight for the slide. When I got it out I took torch and cut off the hammer shaft, ground it smooth with hammer and touched up the paint. No one but you will know the difference. Whew I worked on that about 4 days.
 
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I have been putting stuff together with cheap clear house silicon. I use it on all bolts and nuts too. Ten years and it will come apart like it was put together yesterday. I wish the manufacturers would use it. I spent 5 days pounding on the shims to get a wheel off of an axle. It finally broke loose.
