I'm at a loss, can't find what I'm looking for anywhere. I need two lift arm pins - but the through-pin kind, not the bolt-on kind. For reference, it's to fit this:

I can find top link pins all over, but those are a bit thinner. I can find the bolt-on type of pins for this link, but I can't find any that go through and clip.

I KNOW they make them, because this scraper came with them! But I'm looking for another pair. So far I've tried Tractor Supply, AgriSupply, Amazon, and Messick's. Any other suggestions?

If you can locate bolts that are the correct diameter but longer, you could cut the threads off and drill a hole through to put the retainer pin through it. I have done this in the past and it works well.

Or just use bolts with lock washer and nut. Have you found the right size spacer/bushing? Setting this up for your QH right?

You just need a 7/8” hitch pin in the appropriate length. Something like https://www.acehardware.com/departm...VwAytBh1IowilEAQYEiABEgIW7fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
plus these bushings


any local farm store should have them - you can also buy top link bushings for better fit on top hook (if needed)

Ace Hardware has these for $6.00. They should work.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I didn't even think of Ace - that's exactly what I need!

@OrangeKrush exactly, one more implement to go and they're all ready.

@i7win7 Yep, already got those. Didn't realize at first I would have to do a double-step-up like that, but I guess they don't make cat-1 to cat-3. Seems that's common enough they would...
