I see you had some of those pins chamfered on the ends. It makes things much easier to install and less chance to damage a bushing. Some of our cranes had threaded pins and we had a cone made to thread on them to easily align them into the bore. Instead of pounding on those with a hammer, make a heavy driver to hang from your crane, forklift, loader or trackhoe. We used a 400 lb shaft with an attachment point near each end to keep it level. It made it much easier to tap pins in.
