[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8920, member: 82"] I honestly don't know what genuine pins cost, but the 4140 precision ground bar i used was about AUD $25 per metre. I'm pretty sure they would be a fair amount more than that from Bobcat. The other reason was i changed how the pins were fitted to my machine so i had to make my own. I'd shim the arms, you can use nylon cut to length in a lathe or you can simply use large washers. The less movement you have the less dirt is able to get in and cause wear. Don't knock the old pin straight out either, use the new pin (if you replace it) to knock it through, the arms with a bobtach attached are quite heavy!. This way the arm will not drop making it even harder to install the pin. [/QUOTE]
