Those don't look like they could easily be made serviceable. You could cut off the housings and weld on new spring latches since you have the ability to weld. Something like this:

Freeing rusted pins
I just picked up a C43(?) snow plow for my 210 today. It was a good deal, but it has one, well, two problems and they're both the spring pins that hold it to the front of the tractor.
Both pins seam to have been rusted to the housings. Won't even spin. They're currently soaking in PB Blaster, but I was wondering if anybody else has any ideas on freeing them? The springs in them are toast, so I'll be replacing those at least.
Just FYI, I don't have a torch of any kind, though I do have a welder and consider myself to be pretty decent with it.
Look like they came off the titanic, don't they. I was thinking that if worse comes to worst, I can just cut off the housings and use bolts or pins instead, though I'd like to salvage the spring pins if possible.

The 210 on the trailer here is a parts donor for the one I currently have that's running.

Is the deck better on that one?
Thats where I got that "other one".Is the deck better on that one?
I ended up cutting them off. I probably COULD have saved them, but it would have been more work than they were worth.

I went and ordered some new pins through amazon.
Amazon.com: Buyers Products B2598LP Spring Latch Assembly : Automotive
Till they get here, I went ahead and used some 5/8" bolts to mount it on the 210, just to see how it would look.
Don't have the lift linkage parts, though I think I can recreate them with the stuff I have in the barn.

Next up, freeing the angulation pin. At least its frozen UP so I can move the blade angle, but I'll have to take the whole thing apart to free it.

If it makes you feel better, I cut them flush with the frame, so it was mostly weld that got cut.
