3 Point Pins, where to get?

keywest · Apr 21, 2005

Hi guys,

I want to try my hand at building a 3 pt. Receiver Hitch & need the Cat.1 - bottom lift pins.
I've looked in the on-line T.S. & can find no listings. Maybe I'm calling it by the wrong name??/ tried everything I can think of.
Also tried Nothern & their pins all seem to be too short, they say the useable length is 1 3/4"?
The pins on my Land Pride rear blade are 7/8" thick and the length including the nut is 3".
I have a Kubota BX-23, a little powerhouse but it suits my needs just fine. Love that little machine!
Can you guys please guide me in the right direction to find the pins I need & what they are called & listed under?

Thank's guy's, Paul & Pup /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Go to the Agri-Supply catalog, page 37.

Agri-Supply catalog

They have 2 types of lift arm pins, those with one nut and a forged flange (# 28588) for $1.29 each, and those with 2 nuts and no flange (# 11930) for $1.49 each.

Choose either one depending on access and clearance issues that you may have in your design. The 2 nut variety are good if you have to weld one nut on the back of a plate that will have no access. I use the one nut forged variety for applications like a carryall where there is easy access to the nut.

The standard size is 1 3/4" measured from the INSIDE EDGE of the hole for the locking lynch pin. The actual length of the lift pin that sticks out from the flange is closer to 3" but the usuable portion is only 1 3/4".

Do you have a TSC (Tractor Supply) near you? They have a very good selection.

In my area they're available off the shelf at the MF, JD, and NH dealer.
