5500 KMW Loader Pivot Pin

[Mad Mac]

The Mahindra 1 x 4-1/8" pin is hollow and after only ten years of abuse sheared off on one side. It is the upper pin in this picture with the locking ear tab. Any economical substitutes? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I forgot the picture.

Note that the upper pin that sheared off is hollow, but the lower pin is solid. The pin out of frame bottom right is same as top pin. Wouldn't solid be better?

By hollow, do you mean drilled down the center for grease? Some of mine on the 7520 are. Greased from the end to exit at a circle groove midway down the pin. On mine the pins fatigue and break at that groove.

They are like a piece of pipe. I can stick my finger in the broken off end.
