Sheared off cotter pin on mangle

[unionworkeruk]

I am renovating an old mangle. The wheel is jambed and it looks like a cotter pin holding is has been sheared off on the inner side. I need to knock it out and replace it with a rod that seems to go from the other side and through the wheel.

I attach some photos so you can see what I mean.

What do you reckon I can knock or get it out with as it is well jambed after decades of neglect. Also where can I get a replacement ?

Thanks

Wow, that's history!
It's a bit difficult to see what's actually holding the wheel in place.....could you get a drill in there and drill the peg out? I think it's too far gone to drift out.

A cotter pin would have a taper and a nut....I'd doubt if they would be used here.
I would have thought the wheel would be keyed onto the shaft - wondering if it's been pinned at some time.
A tapered 'gib key' was often the way.
Don't be scared to use heat on the thing!

What makes you think that it is a cotter pin?

Working on old engines/bikes, heat is often the answer to stuck metal to metal
But being cast you need to be careful

I would be tempted to drill it out using a series of drills, take your time and do it slowly

To me a cotter in is round, but with a straight flat ground on it to form a wedge, and a nut to secure it

Looking at the first pic - I can't tell where the peg goes to?

It looks like the pin wheel is held in by key of some sort (someone told me that) and passes through the wheel then the cog which turns the rollers (I have removed all the rollers and top part for cleaning) and out the other side of the frame where it has been cut by the look of it . It should, I think be connected to the other side of the frame.

I need to get it out abd remove the wheel so I can strip and repaint the frame, cogs and wheel.

I am a painter so this is a problem for me as i doubt I have the tools to remove it .

I'd like to see the area of wheel to spindle cleaned up a bit to see if there's a key way there....I think there will be.
As before though, I think you'll need to get handy with a drill and some HSS bits to get the thing apart.
No harm in drenching the thing with penetrating oil though!
As Tiger says, everything will be cast iron, so no hammering!

Are you renovating it for use or for appearance? Those things are dangerous. My mum had one when I was a nipper and I put my finger in it as she was using it.
