Wider lower link pins?

Kenockee 8N · Feb 18, 2017

I was installing the stabilizer bars on my 8n today. I had everything loosely in place and was hitching up my back blade to check for binding when my lower link pin's width stopped me from going any farther. My lift arm plus stabilizer arm are too thick and cover most of the hole for the link pin. Unfortunately I cannot adjust these pins. Do they make wider pins and where might I find them?

Yes they make longer pins,
Check TSC or your local equipment dealer, they should have a pin 1/2" longer if that is what you need,

Show us a picture of your rig,

Hmmm the picture didn't work. Nothing special anyways. Not a show piece by any means. Just a workhorse.

Unless the pin is welded or rust frozen should be easy fix. some equipment was designed to not use stabilizer bars, like plow for instance.

Doesn't matter if bars have bends or not, some implements won't fit with stabilizer bars. My Dearborn Disc Harrow and Boom barely make it possible to get the lynch pin in. Have not seen longer pins, you meant to say longer, not wider I presume. The 'smaller' lynch pins are for Cat 0 implements.

Longer and wider can be interchanged in this case as the pins are horizontal. So the extra "length" I need would in turn make the pin wider. If I needed a larger diameter pin that would be a different story...lol...just messing with you.

The link pins I have, have a nut on either side of the back blade frame. Unfortunately, the outboard one is fixed to the pin which does not allow the pin to have extra "legnth" from the nut to the lynch pin hole.

Wider lower link pins?
