What\'s this part I found? From my BX-23?

Found this retaining pin in my driveway. You'll see it is shiny new, and the only new thing in my stable is the BX-23, so it led me to believe that maybe it has fallen off somewhere, but can't find the somewhere. Might not even be from the bota, but thought I'd ask you folks if this looks like a bota part?

Thats the same type of clip I use on my trailer hitch clasp. It's the safety pin that keeps the hitch from popping open. I haven't seen any clips like that on my BX23.

That's a lock pin. It's used like a cotter key with the square bracket acting as a hitch pin clip snapping onto the pin to hold it in place. I have several on my 3pt linkage and I also use them for holding implement parking stands. Look around and see if there is a hole that is missing its pin.

I knew what that pin is for immediately after seeing it. That is the pin that I use to hold the wheels on my MMM that fell out last week because I forgot to secure it. Better than the junk that Kubota supplies and faster to remove and reinstall. Possibly it fell off the delivery truck? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm pretty sure that's the pin that holds the photon torpedo phase inducer to the 3PH. Either that or it's from the trailer hitch as others have suggested. I always get those confused...

You sure it's not the sub-neumionic video particle seperator retaining pin? Mines on the ROPS to better collect and seperate the particles from the occasional sun spot induced particle bombardment.
I use them to protect my tin foil based noggin protection implement.
It used to work, not I'm not so sure.

I had two of those on my trailer, to lock the tailgate in the
"up" position. But one day while out buying toys at Lowe's,
I forgot to put one of them back so it's lost on a state route somewhere.
So my question is, where can I buy one of those pins???

Agri-Supply or any TSC should have them.
