I stole a great idea from jack at Geiger farms, you know how every time you need a draw bar pin your digging through the tool box, left the one you need on the rake for the mower etc. so built a draw bar bracket to hold my draw bar pins nice and handy :lol:

now just have to prime and paint to match miss minne.
 
That is a nice looking bracket, but I think your fender will be shedding some paint from those pins bouncing around. You might want to find a piece of aluminum diamond plate of proper size and screw it to the fender under the bracket.

thank you loren, I was thinking of cutting a thin rubber flap the same width as the bracket, and about 12" long and using the 2 mount holes bolt it in between the fender and bracket, would also deaden any sound of the pins clanging against the fender.
 
Looks like that could be a M5 Moline. Reminds me the old Farmall had a wide drawbar with plenty of extra holes for pins.

Tried that then this spring guess what they must have all got sucked into a worm hole or something becuse I don?t have any
 
All of my yard and garden tractors have their OWN pin. Two have their
own screw on ball hitch too. They are 2 and the other is 1 7/8. The
thing is now and then some how a tractor will endup without a pin ???
Have no idea. Must be ground hogs or something.
 
Hi I looked at the picture before I started reading. The first thought that came into my head was perhaps the tractor and his machines make so much
noise anyway, he won't here the pins bang against the fender. I guess I wasn't the only one thinking it needs some rubber against the fender. They say
great minds think alike, There is a few of us around here today LOL.
Regards Robert
 
I have to go looking for a pin ever time I need one I think they must have returned home to China or ware ever they are made
 
I found a hitch pin underneath my 3 bottom mounted plow last week. Been missing for 2 years probably. One of life's mysteries...
 
Funny, I bought a tractor about 30 years ago and within a few weeks lost the draw pin. Today I was digging a trench and dug it up. Guess I needed a rack instead of leaving it in the tractor.
 
Great idea think I'll make a few this Winter for some of the tractors I use the most.Having the pins out there where they can be seen is a big plus when looking for one just the right size.
 

I keep one on the front of every implement, each one has its particular place. It is an especially good practice for wagons that of course you are likely to move with your truck. I keep a couple spring pins on the steering wheel tilt lever of my truck, because of course I don't use them on wagons when behind the baler.
 
I just wish I could find the munchkin that is eating all my lynch pins. I keep buying them and they keep disappearing. I know it couldn't be me loosing them LOL
 
When we were young my Dad was having a fit about lost hitch pins he said "If Hitch pins would grow this place would look like a Jungle"
 
They work good, if you don't mind the jingle and rattle, as they bounce against the fender while tractor is in use. Dad made a couple from old license plates. The aluminum works for a while than will break off or crack from the vibration. You need to also put something between the fender and pins, or the paint will be all scratched up there. A piece of old mud flap, added to the bolts holding the bracket long enough to catch the bottom end of the pins would work fine.
