When I got my 2pt tiller, there were no pins through the pivot point near the pto. Anybody have some pics showing how this pin works or what it looks like?

The tractor model might make a difference. What model do you have?

Tim, the attachment is a photo of one of the pins from my YM1110D. I loaned my tractor and tiller to a friend for a summer, and he lost one. I have never replaced it. If you like, I can take some measurements for you so you can have some made, or try to get some from a dealer. The pins for my YM1301D work on my YM1110D, but the larger diameter section is longer so they stick out a little bit.

You are correct. The loop is for pulling it out, and the bend in the plate is to keep it from rotating - though I'm not quite sure why. I guess it is just so that the pin doesn't rotate so the zerk is inaccessible.
Is it possible to turn one from a hitch pin? The handle would be built in then. We wouldn't need the tab to keep it from rotating and the groove for the hair pin could become a simple hole. Maybe use a lynch pin instead so it's easier to install.
When installing the tiller, do you need to align the drive shaft before sliding the pins home?

Yes, you have to fit the drive shaft first. I tried the other way around last weekend, and there's just not enough room to get the drive shaft aligned when those big pivot pins are in.

Scrinch, if the tiller splines are real clean and lubed and the shaft is pushed as far back on the tiller as possible, it should hook up with the pins in place and have about an 1/8" clearance.

Cord, these pins are very available through guys like Ernie or Hoyes or Danny Parker, etc. I'm off on vacation for 10 days, leaving early tomorrow, but if you can't find one please email me after 7/10. I just sent a bunch of old 2-point tillers to the scrap pile and I believe we pulled some pins before they left.
