I'll get some pics next time I'm out there. It screws into a threaded socket, and there is a short bar in a non-threaded socket. You lift out the bar so it will turn. As I recall they were VERY stiff but I got them to move, I might drill a small hole in the threaded part so I can get some Kroil in there...

quing,

Here is a shot of the holding bracket on the inside of the dozer arm. Not to explanatory. They had more than one type, some had holes and a pin and others had what you see here…….they had a bolt in the side here the square is, also there was a bolt in the pin that was attached to the shoe, it sliding up through the slot in the bracket and could be tightened down the hold it in place.
My opinion would be to use pins, if I were to build something for holding them.

Addendum:
I forgot to mention there were two pins on the shoe, both in the holding bracket, which can be seen in the bracket. The second pin appears to have been cut off from the shoe in this photo.

Thanks for the reply Carl & Kelly, Carl that does make some sense on how they are adjusted,still a little unclear on the short bar & how it unlocks & locks it to keep it from turning.Sent you a PM

Kelly, The second pin hole has a cover welded over it to keep debris out of the threads I'm thinking. At least that is how my push poles are.
Thanks,quinq
