Cat 1 pin with Cat 2 thread size

[Dwight Bremer]

Have a cat 2 implement I need to convert to cat 1. Are there cat 1 pins available that have the cat2 size thread?

Usually the pins go through a plain bore in the implement and are secured with nuts. If that is the case just bush a Cat 1 pin up to Cat 2 hole size and secure with a Cat 1 nut.

A machine shop could turn down the cat2 pin to cat1 size

Understood, just not a fan of using bushings in a high stress area. This for the cat 2 size Titan ballast box, so a lot of weight.

I like the turn down in a lathe approach, just thought there might be pins manufactured that way.

Excellent! Thank you very much!

Got mine today. Repurposed as paper weights for now.

hmm... 'lot of weight'.... will your tractor and liftarms, etc. handle the 'lot of weight' ?
if the smaller pins do break, replace arms with CAT 2 arms ?

The L4060hstc 3-point lift capacity at 24 in. behind lift point is 2760 pounds so my 'Lot of weight' (around 1200 pounds) should be well within prescribed design parameters.

I do like you suggestion about the Cat 2 arms, though.
