WTB Tow Tab Pins

[Steve009]

Anyone have a set of tow tab pins they are willing to part with? Just made some tow tabs on my 64 and looking for some of the old school pins. Pics below for what I’m talking about.

Check tractor supply or any place that caters to old tractors, they look just like the pins that old Ford tractors use for the 3 point hitch.

What diameter and length... and I'll check my clevis pin stock.

good question. No idea what diameter these things use to be. Maybe 1/2”? Should be fairly heavy duty I would think (I can always adjust the hole). Length would be good anything around 2” total. Doesn’t have to be too bang on in length.

I assumed you had your holes drilled, bar made and just needed pins so would know what diameter you were looking for. I'll see what I have in big stuff.

after one of the messages above I found a store locally that carries Clevis Pins. Didn’t know what they were called. Thanks anyways for your reply and offer.

haha Princess Auto, the store where I can’t leave without buying a half dozen items I probably don’t need

Looks like I only have proper flat head AN clevis pins, I do have some larger clevis bolts with round heads, but of course they have a slot in them.

thanks for checking. I managed to pick up some flat head ones today. Those will due for now. I’ll just keep an eye out at swap meets for a couple of round head ones.
