I've begun a winter restoration project (parts in the garage, shed, basement and house) on a low number CCC 682 (704545). Working on the frame, the ratchet bracket is butchered and the arm needs some attention (handle button is hard to depress). I need to remove the arm which is attached to an arm assembly by way of some type of pin (?) which is rusted in place. How is this pin removed? Now on the Cub Cadet parts schematic for Implement Lift Handle-S/N 716387 & Below, it does not identify any pin so I don't even know what I'm dealing with. I've attempted to use a punch and hammer to see if I can move it with no success. What is it, how do I remove it and where can I find a replacement?

Many thanks,
