Without making a busing from scratch, look around for a short piece of 3/4 thick wall pipe that you can cut to length to act as a bushing. I used 3/4 sch 40 pvc to act as a bushing for a 1" dia. hole. I had to cut a kerf in the bushing so it would colaspe slightly but it works fine, even on heavy pulling.
I have an attachmnet with holes in the tongue of 3/4-inch. The drawbar has a hole of 1 1/4 -inch. If I get a 3/4-inch hitch pin it seems like this isn't going to pull smoothly when I stop and go. Is there any way to get this to fit better? Thanks.
Good way to bend or shear the pin.I'm not in agreement with the "hitch movement" concept either. Use the right sized pin for the smaller hole, then use bushings to make up the difference in the larger hole

How Larry? If the pin is not allowed any movement off vertical, it's a straight pull. Using the right sized pin for the hole - or using the correct reducer bushing to properly adapt a pin to an oversized hole - keeps the pin 100% vertical in relation to the hitch. It's when a small pin is being jerked around in a big hole that shearing/bending forces come into playGood way to bend or shear the pin.
