I will be going to TSC tomorrow, as long as a job doesn't come up quick that I have to do.
Unless someone else gets you the info first, I will post what I find at TSC tomorrow evening.
Edit: we are talking about CAT I size - the pins on your implements are CAT I?
I know there are different size internal bushings for either CAT I or CAT II.

Here is a little more info on the TSC bushings, I think....
SpeeCo part #HF141144
http://www.speeco.com/asp/display.asp?view=top&category=Quick+Hitch+Replacement+Hardware
That number is for the complete kit.
A quick Google search didn't come up with much, except this one:
Georgia Equipment Company
They have an 800 number (probably won't work from Canada though) - maybe give them a call in the meantime?
I will still see what I can find tomorrow at TSC,

Thanks again. You're right . .the speeco kit part number you added is a good solution as it is for two w/two pins. And yes, I have all cat 1 implement pins. I can get basic bushing (to increase size from I to II etc.) if the sleeves' internal diameter is too large.
I found a JD part number PM03015 on the US JD part site that comes with roll pins for $9.95 each. So that equates to $20/per set. That actually sounded a bit cheap for a JD official part?? I sent an angry note to my dealer with that info anyway, and we'll see what he says.
I really appreciate the help. Don't go out of your way, but if you happen to be in TSC I'd like to know the price for a set. I suppose I could always drive to Watertown or Buffalo, NY, if I had to.
Thanks.

I use JD part LVU12858 which is the same as the big bushing without the fat end. $12.08 list price available for approx $10 each from a dealer.
If you know a JD part #, you can type it in their parts website and the pricing comes up along with the specs and a diagram.

Then I must have had the wrong part number [LVU12828]
I thought that number was for the entire kit (spacer bushing, and large outer bushing with the large end).

That part number appears to be likely what came with my hitch. It works with my cutter but it is not suitable for the ballast box. The hitch hooks rest on the retention pin holes, therefore the bushing would slide off and/or one side of the ballast box will fall.
Sorry . .i can't get it to upload. Try this link....and then click on the first product information doc file below the part details

Use roll pins that crush into the hole and stay put. They will not stick out on either side. This method will cost you approx $20 per item to have them i-match ready without the need to swap various bushings and adapters back and forth between items. Remember that the i-match will solidly lock onto the bushings, not the implement. Once it is holding the bushings tight, you are good to go.
The big ones with the fat end are nice, but they cost $30+ per set depending on whether you buy them at TSC or JD. the one advantgae they do have is that there are TWO holes, so they are more flexible as to mounting. They can be slid outwards if necessary by about 1/2" See the previous pix.
