Thank you so much. Since my pin is horizontal I get the idea that it is sheared off and I will have to drive it out. My Irwin punches aren't metric and I get the impression the measurement must be exact, so thanks for the picture of the pin punches. I will purchase those as well. My next step as I interpret it is to use a vice grip and pull the existing roll pins out with a twisting motion. If I can't see completely through the hole I will need to use a punch and drive out the broken pin. Then I align the hole and put in the larger pin followed by the smaller pin. SHOULD THE PINS ONCE INSERTED FIT FLUSH INTO THE HOLE? Ordering the pins now since I have to get a part for my other broken tractor. Fingers crossed. Everyone - thank you so much.
Since it appears that your pins have removed themselves from the holes, I don’t think you need to worry with getting that set of pins. I would suggest that you try to grab the pin(s) you can see sticking out with a pair of pliers (maybe vice grip type) and see if you can wiggle the pins out of the hole. You just need to be careful about pulling hard and the pliers or pins coming loose. That would slam an elbow or wrist/hand into something that would cause some pain or injury. If that didn’t work, I would use the largest pin that matches the that matches the larger pin ( marked in green in post #18) and insert it into the hole opposite the pins sticking and try to tap them out. (There may be no room on that side to do that though).
That “special“ tool just makes it easier to start driving the roll pins out by centering the pin in the center of the tool pin and having the correct diameter to go into the hole. You are correct that the size is important, you don’t want to have the pin being driven against the surface of the hole, you want it on the shoulder of the pin. Too small a diameter would go into the pin and expand it and get the pin and punch stuck in the hole.
