B6200 lift pin size

[seant]

Hey All,
Need a little advice here.
I finished putting my new arms back on my 3 pt lift and just got what I though was the correct lift pins in the mail today. 66706-65280 according to the parts manual I have. However it's much, much small in both diameter and length than the pins that were on before. Much too small to handle the connecting rods that were on previously.

I've attached a pic of the pin for size reference.

Can someone point me in the direction of the correct part or am I looking in the wrong place in the parts manual?

edit: added relevant bit from the parts manual, well, it's too small to read

After some work with the calipers and looking at the older/new pins it looks like they are cat0 pins? Was that standard on the b6200 originally? Looks like I have to track down cat 1 pins with 12mm threaded bolt for the arms.

I could get something fabricated, I suppose. I'm googling like crazy but can't find any 12mm/ 7/8ths pins.

There was 2 different part #'s listed for those pins, not sure what the difference is but the other P/N is 96316-18250.

If the pins you are looking for go at the top of the lift rods and connect then to the arms that come from the rock shaft,you are not looking for a pin wit a 7/8 outside diameter. the only pins that are 7/8 are the pins at the end of the lower links. If your lift rods have a 7/8" hole in the ball/socket then you have the wrong lift rods. The pins you bought look correct as far as I can tell from the photo you posted.

Pictures of what you are working with would help!

I think the top pins are 3/4, not 7/8. Bad memory of measurement on my part. I'll try to get some more pics today when I troubleshoot a little electrical problem I've been having

I ended up re-using the old pins (even though one was bent) just to get the tractor back in action. This seems like a real good excuse to buy a lathe so I can whip up some pins on the fly

Thats what i do. Make as needed.
Just remember, harder steel needs a pretty robust lathe to make the cut. My 1947 south bend does a lot for me, but it doesent match the rigidity needed for the harder machinable steel.
