I finally got around to trying Richard's ripper on the Woods backhoe tonight. This is the first ripper he has made for a Woods BH6000. The Gannon bucket has a sleeve on only one side and the 1" dia pin is just over the 5 and 3/8 width of the connection length. Since the connection plates on the ripper are thinner, Richard needed to put sleeves on both sides, making the connector width 6 and 1/2 inches. The pins that came with the backhoe bucket are not long enough to attach the ripper.

I have Googled and searched all the main sites, (TSC, Northern, others) but cannot find anyone who sells these 1" dia. bucket connector pins with a through hole for a nut and bolt to secure the pin. I find all the standard hitch, toplink, draw, etc. pins, but not these. Does anyone know where I can find the correct pins?

Otherwise, everything seems good with the ripper.
