B2601 Drawbar Hole Size?

[TractorTime]

I bought this online for use with my B2601:

Husky 3/4 in. Bow Shackle in Black

Husky 3/4 in. Bow Shackle in Black 54537 - The Home Depot

Secure and release your load without any loose webbing to tie up with the addition of this excellent Husky Bow Shackle in Black

www.homedepot.com

When it arrived the pin is too wide to fit in the drawbar hole. My tape measure makes it look like it is just a smidgen over 3/4", but the Husky shackle is way too snug to fit it in.

Are 3/4" shackles the incorrect size for a B2601 drawbar, or am I missing something?

Been trying to Google drawbar specs but can't seem to find the part number and recommended shackled size?

Any pointers would be appreciated!

most shackles are forged so NOT a precise dimension.
I've taken a file to the pin and made them fit. Usually it's just a few passes to make it work.

The one I bought also has some powder coating on it which I suspect is bulking up the width of it a bit.

A file or carefully use bench grinder sounds like a good idea.

The three holes in my B2601 draw bar measured between .823" - "826". Your shackle might be the issue...

I'm using a 5/8" one on mine purchased from Amazon.

B2401 here and had to really file down the pin to get it to fit.

3/4" is a nominal measurement for a clevis, not super precise by any means. Here at work we send the pins to the machine shop and get them to turn them for us. A grinder or file would work in a pinch.
