This is probably relative to all BX models.

Where the 3PH is attached to the lift-arms, the top pins, (nearest the toplink) what have people done to eliminate those cumbersome circlips?

Longer pins?
Clip Pins?
Linch Pins?

There's got to be a better way.

What's your solution to the madness?

Put cotter pins in if the clips bother you. I have never had a problem with the clips and never lost one when it was on the machine.

I had to look to see what I had. In 11 years haven't concerned me much. Use the 3PH quite a lot.

Mine are on the outboard side. Guessing because I don't have a backhoe attachment.

The hairpin type will work better and easier.
