ROPS Quick Attach Pin

[BotaBob20]

I am just so over having to unscrew bolts from my ROPS every time I bring tractor inside, maybe one day i'll get a bigger garage, but until then i want to find something that is "quick release" to fold my ROPS down. I get it may void warranty, i'm past that stage.

Been trying to find like Grade 8 Hitch Pin or Clevis Pin close to size. Anyone else do this or have suggestions. I believe the pin is a 5/8x6" threaded bolt. I found a grade 8 5/8x6" Hitch Pin, but if i had to guess my threads are going to throw me off. Ideally would find a 9/16 pin of some sort in grade 8, but i'm not sure something like that exists. Think going all the way down to 1/2 clevis pin is going to rattle like crazy.

Can you use any of these?

Just a thought. These are hardened quick release axles that do come in 5/8 inch dia. although the most common size is 1/2 inch.
This type of quick release is pretty full proof as long as the hole is sized correctly.

Here is a link to a company that supplies many types of QD pins in a variety of lengths, diameters and styles.
