Lynch Pins

MOTractor · Nov 2, 2015

My LS XR4040 has the telescoping style of 3 point stabilizers. They do not use what I call a normal lynch pin. In the pic below the pin on the right are the ones that came with the LS, notice that it is now sprung. The local dealer has them for about $11 each. Our local farm stores, MFA and Orscheln's, do not have them. I picked up the pin on the left at MFA, but it is a bit of a pain to put on.

Anybody know where to get the pin on the right, beside the dealer? The sprung pin is about 3/8" x 2"

The one on the left can be purchased at any farm supply store like Tractor Supply, Farm-Fleet, etc.

I know, I got it at MFA

I just edited my original post to make it more clear which pin I am looking for.

In Canada, similar pins can be found at Princess Auto for less than $1. Very common.

I guess that's not much help... But at least you know that they are not a special thing and they should be out there somewhere.

I have found the LS dealers is where to get them. I haven't lost one yet. They do have a certain bend to them. I did see them cheaper on E-bay a while back.

John Deere part number DE18899 lists $9.10 (not much of a savings) it's key 3 in the drawing

I'd use these, at the correct size for your application. They are what came on my Kioti from the factory.

Amazon.com: 1 X Lynch Pin 3/16": Industrial & Scientific

PS. Any chance of you shooting us a pic of the actual application- where the pin needs to go- I'm thinking there might be a different pin that better suits your application, if it's where I think it is.
Thanks.

Yes, I will take a pic in a few minutes.

My NH uses a similar pin on the telescoping stabilizers but I haven't tracked down a part #.

I lost both of those funky LS pins on my G3033h the first week I had it. Figured the replacements would get lost just as fast, and.besides they are ridiculously overpriced, so went with the other style you have pictured. They do fine, doesn't seem that hard to use them to me, but everyone has different likes/dislikes.

Does the other style stay on better? No way I am paying $11 for a lynch pin

Sorry guys, should have posted this pic with my initial post...

Yikes, totally different pin! The common pin I imagined (and was linked on Amazon) goes over an end, not the side.
I would just go with the replacement from your first post. I've never seen a pin like this on the common market.

I agree

at least the other pin is a common.

YIKES X2! :laughing: That's an odd ball.

Thanks for the pic, MO.
Kioti uses a pin that looks like what the top of your original pin shows in your pic, BUT it has a fender washer sized larger than the head of your pin attached to the top, and it is held in place by either a cotter pin, or a smaller size version of the pin I showed in the link. Don't have tractor in front of me to check which), AND it has a chain attached to the fender washer that attaches back on the stabilizer or somewhere similar. That system works well, but somehow I managed to break one of the chains, of course.:confused3:

Here's the pin from Princess Auto -- 1/4 in. Linch Pins for Tubes | Princess Auto -- $1.99 (Canadian?) for 2.

The pin is designed for a tubular application, but it may work for the OP.

Shipping would be costly -- $15.65 (Canadian ?) to SC. Ouch!!!!

I am sorry yours is for square and mine is round tube.
Edit you do have the unused hole that can be use to run a safety wire through.

Have you tried flipping the handle/larch back? We had one flip that way, was a real pain to flip it back to the origin side but did it. works fine now.
