There will be the pto and the hitch in the way. But that can be solved easily. I might try something today after work

Is this “more or less” what we are talking about?

exactly. but I wanna keep my original pegs in case I need to revert back. A new set is 50$ CAD.
So I might just make my own with steel rods and square tubing.

That's cool by the way. those drawings are nice.

I think if you used some “cap screws” to attach the pin plates to the rods/bars (instead of welding them) you might be able to use your current ones, without ruining them.

Possibly saving 50 bones.

Just a thought.

Kind of like this.

By tapping the solid rod and securing it with something like a “cap screw” , I think 2 things will/might happen

1. You could save your originals

2. It might be possible to make it so that the head of the fastener goes into the existing bolt hole and acts as some sort of “locating pin”( purple headed thing)…This would of course have to be some “custom” fastener though…..

The caps wont work because no matter the rotation, the hole is blocked by the casing of the tractor.



I tried doing a very rough prototype. There is little room to slide and extend. Also, it would need to be welded very precisely, otherwise it doesn't slide if there is the slighest angle

Looks like it certainly has a shot at working.

I am presuming it will be “easiest” to drill the “hair pin” hole when they are installed.

Keep us updated please.

Gonna try this out it the field today with my blade.
I left the bolts in just to protect the threads, but they are not holding anything.

If that works, then it should be a quick and easy solution

I mentioned earlier in your thread that the OEM design with bolts probably is also to keep the pins from rotating and causing wear to the castings. All the wear is on the pins where the link balls ride.
Your design is going to allow the pins to rotate in the castings now.
I could be totally wrong about the whole subject.
I assume too that is why the backhoe and loaders use cross bolts on all their pins so the wear is in the greased areas.

Interesting. I'll have to consider this then. I'll update my design
