Do i just need spacers?

[The Evil Twin]

Bought a used QH15. I knew I would need additional pins to connect the QH to my BB and rake. What I didn't know was about the bushings.
Do I simply need the spacer #20 in the appropriate length to go over the pins that will go through the lower attachment points of the BB and rake?

Your LandPride QH15 is a cat 1 quick hitch, so it the implement you are attaching is a cat 1 implement, then no bushings will be needed. If it is a cat 0 implement, then you would need to add a bushing to each cat 0 pin so it will properly fit into the quick hitch receiver lower pin holders.

Hmmmm. I understand what you are saying. However, there is a lot of play if I just use the pins for the BB1260 in the lower pin holders on the QH. The pins are #7 below.

I'm not sure those will work for my application. Both imploments have a yoke style connection. The pin slides into two tabs. See the pic above. The rake is similar. The part you posted might work on a rake that has a "post" or stud sticking out. I (soon) have a Homestead rake that uses the two tabs like the blade.

Did a little more looking. The diameter of the pin is 7/8". On the bushing, the ID is .93". So the pin listed for the BB would go through the inside of the bushing listed for the QH.
Am I on the right path, or no?

I see, yes on those types of implements, the bushings of the correct length over the pin is best.
You can get the bushings off eBay or Amazon for much cheaper.

If you mean the like the bushing that is circled, then yes'

I also have a 15.

Ok, sweet! I appreciate the input from both of you!
RWS reminded me I'll need that style for the Heavy Hitch. Both the rake and BB attach with this style.

My box blade has this style.

The dealer installed them when I bough the package so I have no idea what brand they are or what the different styles are called.

Seems like you are on the right track, so maybe this doesn’t help much…

I am a touch it / feel it type when possible. I’ve got several implements that I use bushings in….best way I’ve found to minimize trips to town is this:

1. From your picture above, take a sharpie or paint marker and score lines against the implement brackets on each side…meaning transfer the bracket location to your pin.
2. Wait until ink / paint dries and pull the pin…now you have a template in hand.
3. Take your calipers and the template (pin) to town and see which bushings slides on and check the diameter to a correct cat 1 pin (or whatever trying to match) that is in stock. It’s normal at our store that wrong parts in wrong bin, so check em all, or don’t. Also be sure on the correct length which is where the paint lines will help. It doesn’t need to be a perfect fit…it’s better to be an 1/16 or 1/8 short of the gap than exact length IMO for ease of install.

just like lynch pins, it’s nice to have a spare. They only fall off in tall grass or on a sloped surface .YMMV.

That's why I keep recommending the Speeco E-hitch. No bushings needed!
