dfkrug,
Thank you for the fine explanations. It makes perfect sense and it works as I imagined it would. That's a fine set up you've got now. I had in mind to just build a fixed thumb next winter but now you've got me re-thinking hydraulic.

As far as needing pins from Prairie Dog I don't have a build project going right now. I work the tractor in the summer and work on it in the winter. I had hoped there was an online catalog available so I could pick and choose appropriate pins when the need arose. Thanks for the PM offer but I'll use other sources unless I find I absolutely require a cir-clip style and can't find them elsewhere.
