After what I found today persuing the posts here http://www.greentractortalk.com/for...e-cylinder-fittings-54-plow-3.html#post195229 I though I'd start a new thread on "other stuff" you can find on the QH if you look.
Angle cylinder front pin seems a bit high! Strange, probably broke off the bottom roll pin.
There it is! Roll pin busted clean off on both sides. With all the dirt in there it sure looks like a roll pin...
But, it's not a strong hefty roll pin.... It's a wimpy small cotter pin and right down under there where all the action happens plowing snow and dirt and especially "back blading". Half of what I pushed out...
And crude as it might be, the pin won't be moving again this season. I put the actual "single top roll pin" on the bottom and the hitch pin on the top with the patented "Shoddy Industries Safety Wire System"...
Good thing I found this when I did as that 1/2" pin was slightly bent, but not enough to affect reinstallation... So be sure to watch for this condition among all the other conditions on your own personal quick hitches. (They are called quick hitches because they get "hitches" in 'em real "quick".):laugh:
