Lynch pins for CK35 Loader?

[dustinfox]

Anyone else having trouble finding lynch pins?

I seem to have lost a lynch pin from one of my loader arms. Thinking this was a common item, I headed to the local hardware store for a replacement. Two days later and eight different stores, I still can't find one. Are these like a Kioti proprietary size or something?

I have gotten a couple from my local auto supply store. Had several sizes in stock. Seems they are a fairly common item and lots of people that are not tractor owners use them.

Not here Mousefield. These are either 3/8 inch or 9mm there about. There is not a single store around or even on line that sells this size. I have checked everywhere. I don't think they make that size in the U.S. The Kioti dealer has them for $2.10 each! I can maybe use 5/16". It's loose but should work.

Try TSC or Harbor Freight. The last time I was at TSC they had a bag of lynch pins for $2.00. Harbour freight had a box of 50 assorted sizes for something like $4 or $5.

Thanks Luremaker. I called TSC and they don't carry that size. The link you posted does not include that size either. :confused2:

I kept losing them. Wired a few closed. Then I've since replaced with bolts and nylon lock nuts. No problems since.

Lowes carries them too.
Shop The Hillman Group 5/16" Zinc-Plated Lynch Pin at Lowes.com
You could try asking one of the guys at the service desk if they can get you them in 3/8.
