XR4145 quick connect sub frame

[Telephony2000]

I have a LS XR4145 2017 with a front mount snowblower and I lost one of the sub frame mounting pins that are in the back. They are 1 3/16" x 4 5/8" there are two of them and each one has a hole in the end for a smaller pin and it has a T type Handel on the other end. I have been looking all weekend and can't seem to find a part number or even a diagram of the sub frame. Call dealer and they don't have any and can order but will be several weeks and can wait that long. Thanks

I would go to a Machine Shop and have them make one.

I agree it would be easier to make one. I know a guy that had the same problem losing one of the pins for his XR4155 subframe which is the same as yours. Dealer didn't have one and it was not available from LS so they couldn't order it. There were several welding and metal fab shops in the area and he knew a guy that had a machine shop so he had one made. In an emergency if you couldn't find the right size shaft to make one, even a piece of pipe would work for a temporary fix. Not as strong as a solid pin, but would do in a pinch.

Or for a temporary fix, see if you can find a hitch pin of similar size that works. Below was a quick tsc search that may need a little reworking (cut/drill/bevel), but with a bit more search you may get closer. If you go this route, dump the cotter pin they give you & size the hole to take a locking lynch pin.

That would be perfect except it says 1 1/4" and the pin he needs is 1 3/16" so it won't fit in the hole.

Tractor Supply usually has quite a few different sizes of hitch pins in stock so I’m guessing they will most likely have a pin in stock that will work great .
I just looked and they do have 1 inch diameter and also 1 1/8 inch diameter pins listed, either one of those should be able to handle his snowblower just fine.
