Extension pins for lower 3 pt implement hook up

[Blue2Orange]

Traded in the old 7ft for a lightly used LandPride 60" back blade. It is not QH05 compatible. Old blade was a bit on the too large side for the BX, but the bottom pin were properly spaced for the QH05. Top link pin lacked space for the QH05 top hook. Opposite issue now. The lower pins span is too short. Need a minimum of a total of 6 more inches to get the 28 2/3" spacing needed.

Did a quick google search for pin extensions. Hope was for something similar to the bushing used to increase the diameter, but in this case just sleeve the existing pin with a reduced outer end. No luck. Any one know of a source for such an adapter?

I use these on any of my implements that need to be adapted to QH. On an old tiller I have, I spaced them where I need them and just welded them to get the width needed.

You would probably be better off moving the position of the pins and converting them to the style shown here

Yea you can't extend them out that far, too much leverage they would just bend.

The QH05 hitch pin locks don't require bushings. Diameter for pins are std cat 1. Something similar to the bushings, but an adapter sleeve to just extend the pins. Sort of the reverse of the bushings. Fat end slides over the existing pins and lock on as the bushings with an extension of x inches with std cat 1 diameter lower pins. Thinking (dangerous) that a "collar" ~2" OD and 7/8" ID x ~ 6" long with two sets of holes for the rolling pin would allow using two std 7/8" diameter pins to become one long pin.

Back blade will have limited use. Should just keep it simple. Remove the QH when needing the back blade. Bit more time. Less $$s and chance of doing something stupid.
