Stole this off youtube, a guy mentioned it during one of his videos. Tried to find it again and if I do I will post it up so he gets the credit.

pretty self explanatory, just swap out the cotter pin on the adjuster for a hitch pin. Pop the pin and no need to use the 19mm wrench to get your implements on and off. I will be swapping it to a lynch pin I just don’t have one in the garage that will fit it.

That is a great idea. I abandoned my turnbuckles, in favor of chains some years ago, because adjusting the turnbuckles was such a pain.

Even using chains, it is still a pain to tighten things up. Your idea is the correct solution I think.

It never occurred to me to do what you have done.

Live and learn!
