I bought a 2 bottom plow to renovate some ground that has not been worked in a long time.
The plow has a stubby Cat I pin that is machined as part of the plow. It's to short to use an adaptor on as the lift arm is a bit wider then the pin with nowhere to use the lynch pin.
I welded 2 bushings together to make a longer one. I'll need to drill a hole for the lynch pin.
At this point, I need to secure the bushing to the lift pin. I was thinking of using a drift pin but I am wondering if it would hold up to the strain of working the plow.
Another thought I had was removing the arm of the plow and taking it to a welding shop to have the bushing welded to where the bushing contacts the plow arm.
Please give opinions or thoughts on what I am trying to do. Is there a better way?
