Clevis Pin

[presnewt]

There is a 2" x 3/8" clevis pin that attaches the hydraulic arm that lifts the front attached implements that I am constantly breaking. It is not from misuse, the replacement pins I purchased from tractor supply just are not the right strength for what I need. Is there a certain pin spec I should look for? I broke one today just riding thru my yard and hitting a small bump.

If you can not get an original part, then we come to risky business. Risky in that a pin that is too strong "may" risk damage to the connections. My solution would be to select a grade 8 bolt of same diameter as a replacement. Then again, a Kubota or John Deere dealership might stock such a common pin of better metal.
