The ROPS pins on my tractor are a bear to remove and put back in. Since I'm keeping the tractor in a regular garage right now, I have to put it up and down every time I do any work. I use a vice-grip and twist the pins while pulling hard and they eventually pull out. I pound them in, though I do not have to pound to hard.
The pins are standard 3/4" pins. What I was thinking was to replace them with the pins that have the big D handle on the end and a more sloped nose so they go in and come out easier. These pins are marketed as hitch pins.
Does this seem like an OK thing to do? The metal appears to be the same -- but that's only how they look and feel. The big D handles would really make my life a lot easier.
