10 Hours In, found this laying in front of my bucket (see pic)

In this part of the world, they're commonly just called a "shifter".

Then again, we call a "torch" what you guys call a flashlight.

English word for pencil eraser makes American cops blush, we had an English woman working records department for a long time.

More "as seen on TV" wrenches in that link than I've ever seen in one place

Then we have 'nufie' wrenches, aka vice grips.

Or worse, water pump pliers.

I buy them and loose them in quantity.

Which is why I keep a few spares in the toolbox.

Ever use a “Band-Aid” before”
”Kleen-Ex”?
“Crescent wrench” is a perfectly fine name for an adjustable or open end wrench….we use it around here all the time.

Bobcat

Are a couple more brand names that get used in general terms.

They are more than likely located on your 3 point/attachment area. I've lost quite a few of them on my T474. I bought a "pack" of them from Amazon to keep in my toolbox.

I just had to remind myself you weren't talking about English pencil erasers here.

My Pin holding drawbar has lynch pin on bottom. I’ve lost it before.

Look on the back side of this pin, both sides.

I have to apologize to Bruce because he was dead on. Today I was out by my tractor and took a peek at the pin in question. Holy moly it is a lynch pin. I guess my 74 year old brain is losing it, I was sure that my pin only had a hitch pin on it. I don't remember seeing anything from the OP on what he found.

 

[Gord Baker]

Put a couple of required sizes in the tool box and Do Not play with them. Knuckle breaker!

Yes. I started putting my drawbar pin in upside down to protect the lynch pin.

 

[Cougsfan]

Many tractors have loops on the 3ph lift arms to store spare lynch pins. Check to see if maybe you just dropped a spare.

That's funny. I have noticed those loops on my old tractor's lift arms for a few decades now, and I never stopped to think that was what they are for.

I lost a few of those. When I finally had to walk the field looking for the drawbar that fell out because of it, I replaced it with a bold and lock nut.

 

[Liquidsilver]

Does anybody else have trouble with the types of those that have no flat side on the head?

I starting losing them all the time and realized the heads without a flat side would wiggle themselves loose without using a big flat washer behind them.

I was pulling my hair out (what's left of it) trying to figure why I was losing them all the time. Now, I look for the ones with the flat side to the head and I stopped losing them.

I guess I've never had one that was strong enough to really bite a knuckle...

I thought those were to connect my PTO shaft safety chains...

Did the OP fall asleep under the tractor while looking for an open hole?

 

[ProRemodler]

This pin fell off my new T474. Anyone have an idea what it's from? FYI I've done a lot of loader work since I bought it (10 hours on tractor). thank youView attachment 736343

I have 2 of these holding the bucket quick hitch on the front of the tractor.
