Marty, Nice to know that occasionally I'm right about some things. :) Unfortunately I don't remember what I had to do to remove the sheared roll pins in my B-1 but it couldn't have been much of a problem or I would remember. Some suggestions (even though the pins are spring steel): Easy-out, screw a bolt or sheet metal screw down the center to jack the stub out, slip a "puller" pin or screw in and weld it to stub, use a drill bit slightly larger than the pin ID to see if it will spin out, and ???. The parts book shows both 1/4" dia. and 5/16" dia. roll pins depending upon which PN hub you have. If your hub has 1/4" pins going to the 5/16" pins will gain some strength. On my B-1 I used "double" roll pins. e.g. I put a smaller roll pin inside the stock roll pins after I had assembled the gear to the hub. Good luck and let us know how you finally get the stubs out.

I've had this happen on a couple of tractors, I just drilled new holes in the hub . Worked for me.

Thanks Willy, never thought of that. Congradulations Roy, you were right on one outta two, though I'm still addmitting the 725 doesn't quite make sence.

As I recall on my B110, I drilled through the center of the roll pin with a small drill and then could drive them out from the back side. Tom45
