Simple but handy

I've converted all pin-on stuff to these

Zinc Plated Lynch Pins 3/16

I like them 'cause they're "glove friendly" even when they get a bit rusty. Can't STAND the "bobby pin" type... Steve

Like ovrszd, I quit using those pains (pins) after the first time I took them out to adjust the sway. Been 3 years now, and I have not had one come out yet. The 2 original ones are out there in the grass somewhere, never to be seen or heard from again.

Until some futuristic civilization finds them and spends a Gazillion Dollars trying to figure out what ancient civilization used them and what for???

My JD has horizontal holes in the sway bars so I found some old clevis's that will just fit over the bar. The clevis pins have been replaced by the appropriate size bolts that get tightened by my metric adjustable wrench. These seldom have to move all summer as I can just pull the pins on the axle when I remove the whole unit (counterweights, receiver, winch, etc).
Most times I back under the woodshed beam and lower the assembly onto a chain over the beam. This lets things "hang loose" so all the pins can be pulled or replaced with little or no tension on them...
I wish I had the newer sway bars with the vertical holes..
