1970 sodbuster 2138LSS

Post by gsmith7158 »

I bought this old Sodbuster with the intention of making it my first repair job. It was cheap and if I mess it up I just made my other ones more rare. So my question is about the pivot pin on the Sodbuster. It appears larger than others. Is there a special pin strictly for use on this model? And what would I need to signify when ordering one?

It's a regular pin (around 1/8" IIRC) peened out on top of a washer, newer case sodbusters utilize a cutlers rivet
