Load Calculations for Ball joint Pin?

Load Calculations for Ball joint Pin?

Load Calculations for Ball joint Pin?

(OP)
Hello all,
       
      I am working on stress calculation of ball joint used to connect dozer blade and the c-frame ( machine).
      Pin is attached to dozer blade at the bottom, loading conditions are as follows
   1. Horizontal force of 2g on the lower part of  blade
   2. vertical force equivalent to lift capacity of blade acting on the lower edge of the blade
   3. and 1/3g  as side load.

   These are loads acting on dozer blade, I am not sure how to transfer these loads on the pin and how stress will act on it. SO NEED SOME HELP
   Lower part of pin is in the socket of ball joint, which is connected to c frame. and upper part is welded to a plate, which connects top surface of pin and the dozer blade.
    Hope this figure will help you guys to help me :)
