I just ordered the Harbor Freight Quick Hitch and now I am a bit confused on which bushings I need to make my implements fit. Both my Sprayer and Flail have what I would call top link type pins that are 7/8" diameter. Both implements have the same type of pin on the bottom two connections as the top connection. I am not sure what bushings I should use. Any help would be appreciated.

This style is the ones I use, if you have more than one implement check other listings as multiple sets are cheaper.

Thank you for helping.
I saw that you shared that link on another thread. I see how those would work on the lower two connection points where the three point hitch normally slide on from the side but not on the top where you have to pull and reinstall the pin. Mine has the 7/8" pull and install type connections in all three places. It doesn't seem like the step sized bushings you linked to would work in that upper connection point but instead the bushing would have to be the same outer diameter all the way across.
Am I making sense?

You can buy those bushings at TSC if you have one close or I made mine out of 3/4 inch pipe for the top and 1 inch for the bottoms

For the top link:

or like Ike said, 3/4 steel pipe works fine too.

To save you a headache you may want to weld a 1 inch bar stock on the backside of the top hook. The way they come the hook sits to close to the top bracket which lets the implement hit the bolts which then bend them.
