I would like to know where I could buy a one of in the photos below. It's a stepped Cat1 & Cat2 combo hitch pin. The Cat1 section is 3.75", the Cat2 is 4.75", total length 8.5". Merchant suggestions welcome.

Hi bcp, I had seen the first two from googling around. The first link is for a Cat 2-3. The second link doesn't have any way to prevent the pin sliding. If you look at my first pic, the middle and right holes for the pin are Cat2, only the left hole is Cat1. The third link is in GB Pounds Sterling, so presumably in the UK. Hence my post here.

Search Tisco P7230 for your pin. Many choices around $7.50

That Tisco part appears to be what I'm looking for. Thanks, TractorTech.
Didn't mean that my links were an exact match, but a website to start looking. The third fooled me. Their link for UK and EU shipping made me think of a US dealer shipping there.
My first choice would be the implement mfg, if still around. Second choice would be a web search for the right combo pin (looks like you found it.) Third choice would be two pins: a not quite right combo pin that could be shortened on the cat 2 side and used in the cat 1 section, and when needing cat 2, a common cat 2 pin for the cat 2 side only. Fourth choice would be common cat 1 and cat 2 pins, with a sawed-off or pinned adapter bushing on the end of the cat 1 pin to fit the cat2 hole.

It's for a Gannon box blade I bought used. It was missing one of the OEM pins. I asked Woods, who have since acquired Gannon, about a replacement when I got the pdf manual for my model. They'd happily sell me one for $75 + $12 shipping. Ahem. Or not. So I've been limping along with bushings and not especially correct lengths. I'm done with that and didn't want to weld. I figured there had to be an inexpensive third party supplier. It looks like the Tisco part will do. I'll know soonish.

Bio, just an FYI, Woods bought Tisco about 14 years ago, but they operate separately. The P7230 is what we sold for Gannon scrapers as it was cheaper than the OEM and worked fine. I had no idea the Woods replacement would be that expensive.
