Better Lynch Pin?

[newbury]

Perhaps in this specific situation, a pivot pin would be less likely to fall out? They come in all shapes and sizes.



There's also these crazy doo-dads, but I've not a clue what to call them:

That squigly one is called a "Rue pin" or a "ring cotter pin"
I bought some about a decade ago. They work really well if you can remember how to use them.

I lost a few also. Just used a small chain with clips from old dog leashes on them attached the the lift arms and the clips. Still a couple came out but were still with me.

This is one style of a guard to help keep the pin protected.

I have used these also. That pin comes out

Is there anything more secure than this style of Lynch pin to the lower lift arms?
I keep losing them while brush hogging. I'm thinking about using a bolt and nyloc nut, but that would be a pain.

Lucky Dog, the one shown on your text are of poor quality. Bought them and thrown them away. They arr dangerous. Don't buy them, for security reasons. You can't find anymore those quality lynch pin any more. My old tractor still have some of them. They do the job. And, because I have to use the hydraulic bar to lowered my attachment , when I am loaded,,because of a down slope, some times these attachments scrape the soil which cause the lynch clip to pry open. The old ones don't open this way. We dhould be able to find the industrial type uses by machinery fabricant, on their new machineries sold, if that exist any more. Good luck.
