What is this pin for?

On my TO-20 there is a long pin that goes through pivot point on the 3-point hitch rocker. There are 3 ears sticking out from the main case of the tractor that it goes through. The rocker pivots from the center one. Is there any attachments that use this pin? I was thinking about modifying the top link on a 3-point backhoe attachment and attaching it there. It looks like a good strong attachment point and would keep the backhoe from wearing on the rocker assembly so much. Should make things a little less shaky. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Terry

Just this morning I discovered yet another use for the long, hinged "grandfather" pin. I just completed restoration of my 1953 Ferguson FE-O-20 sickle mower. Sure enough, the top support assembly uses this pin.

Terry, In Australia the pin you talk about is quite often refered to as a grandfather pin. Its bent in the middle. I am replying because we recently aquired a rear end backhoe attachment for a TEA Grey Fergy. I was wondering if you happened to have somthing similar. Ours is a "Dinkum Digger" manufactured in Great Yeldham, Essex, England. Any info would be appreciated as ours is in a bit of a sorry state. Also the implements that attact to the grandfather pin are all ways ones that are adversly affected by the draft control. Stephen

We have a mounted Wetmore Glutton hammermill that has a cable that attaches to one side of that long pin. The cable is attached after all the 3 point arms, stabizers and top link are on and the lift is raised. The cable allows the hammermill to be lowered and held at fixed height off the ground and keeps the hammermill from dropping all the way down and streching the V-belts to tight.

Terry - the one application that I use for this pin is for a swinging drawbar. The pin holds the vertical braces. There may be other implement applications but this is the only one I am familiar with.
