When I was changing over from my grapple to my bucket for the winter, I noticed that the lower left pivot pin for the quick-attach had snapped its flange and was creeping out of the hole. I'm very happy to have caught this before the pin fell all the way out, but when I started looking in to repairs, I was surprised to find that the pin does not have a groove for a retaining ring. At first, I thought this must have been a manufacturing error, but I looked up the parts diagram at MI&E's web site and, sure enough, there is no retaining clip shown...this means that the flange bolt is solely responsible for keeping the pin in place.
Does this sound right?
Would it be OK to use a pin of the same diameter but with a groove and retaining clip?
Oh, this is on a DK45S with KL451 loader.
