Stabilizer Pins

Got a problem finding stabilizer pins that are a little longer than what I've been finding.
Problem is the width between the pin and the shoulder is too small for stabilizer arms. I can just barely get the lynch pin in and that makes the arm want to stay straight out instead of having some slack allowing them move around.
First pic shows one that came with the tractor years ago.
Second pic is what I've found so far, and it causes a tight fit.
Anyone got a lead on where I might find a longer one?

Can't recommend them for much, but if you have a Tractor Supply near you, they do appear to have a selection of different pins. One looks like the version you have that is both too short and the lynch pin hole too far from the end, but they also appear to have a longer pin that would give more room for a sway bar.

What are you using for stabilizer bars? Surely they are not a 1/2" thick! And the bars should have a little bend on either end. In under the fender and out
at the implement. Are you using 7/16 linch pines, flat on one side?
 
If your hardware store doesnt have them, they could order it for you. Look on eBay, there are lots of them.

Just left the tractor 300 miles away this am, so I can't give exact measurements.
The rods I'm using are the adjustable ones from TSC, and the with of the eyes is at least 3/8" thick.. There is no bend on the eyelets, so I did have to bend them, but I'd still like pins that are a little longer like the one in the first photo..
And yes, I'm using standard lynch pins in them.
Stopped by TSC on the way home, they don't carry anything but standard short ones.
If the ones on eBay are what I'm looking for, the sellers are way to proud of them.

My local TSC did carry them but maybe they've stopped?
Im going one day this weekend so I'll find out.
 
In my area farm supply stores usually stock both pin lengths (usually have just 1 of each), lots of lynch pins, a couple stabilizer bars, & ONE of the axle brackets. If I want to outfit a tractor I have to visit at least 2 stores. I have brought this to the attention of a couple store managers & I get that "deer in the headlights" look when I talk about "3 point hitch."
