[AT] 580 B backhoe

[Richard Fink Sr]

Danny on a second note the biggest job is to get the nut off after 
taking out the rod. If you don't have a impact wrench 3/4 drive just 
stick it back in the swing pin hole and drop pin back in. now you can 
use a big cheater bar to get the nut loose and re tighten. Be sure it 
is real tight when you put it back together you don't want that nut 
to come off in cylinder.[bad results]
