Lynch Pins, Hair Pin Cotters all in quantity from Tractor Supply. I bet I lose at least 6 of each over the course of a season. Have bins in the shop. One is Lynch Pins, the other Hairpin cotters, all in different sizes too.

I picked up some of these at tractor supply. At least when you forget them or they fall out you don’t lose it lol.

Though I didn't comment on your other thread about the dangling hydraulic hose you caught on something. It kind of puzzled me as to why you never bothered to look underneath the tractor before using it, something I always do regularly to mine. I look underneath to see if they are leaking anywhere and see if anything to compromised in any way and in as much as it was new,First thing I would have done is look underneath. Just common sense in my view.

That’s true however figured I would have time to make a plate before catastrophe happened. Didn’t expect to be in the woods so soon as both driveways was first on the list. Oops too late lol. Oh well trading it in for the 4760 and I already warned them if they are routed stupid again I won’t accept it lol. Lesson learned the harder way is all.

Whatever.... Just my observations.

Well them observations are wrong. And it wasn’t hanging down and obvious like you assume.

It’s a lynch pin.
It goes in that empty hole on your tractor that needs a pin to stop parts from coming apart. The hole is likely through a large bolt, stud or pin where other parts connect.
It’s a part that normally or occasionally is expected to come apart. That’s why they used a lunch pin instead of a bolt so you can take it apart without wrenches.

People (me) have sometimes put them through their holes facing the wrong direction. That is, the flat side of the pin should be against the object it is holding together. Otherwise the snap ring doesn’t flips down completely to “lock” the pin in place. Eventually the ring flips back up, pin falls out, and you find it under your tractor (actually most times, you never see it again).

I’d look around the tractor’s bucket, or more likely, the 3 point hitch connections and lift arms.
Don’t worry, when whatever it’s from falls apart , you’re going to know real quick where it goes.

It happens a lot.
Get used to it. Lol

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.

Back in the day we would have the new guy riding around looking for the left handed hose packer. At every station it had just been sent to another house.

Of course that's nothing compared to getting some one to try out the walk on water "water rescue shoes".

Spanner!

I know this is taking this post WAY off topic but one of the funniest things we used to do was on the rookies first night we would quietly sneak out to the apparatus bay and manually lift the bay door. Since we kept the fire engines plugged into air we could always release the brakes and roll the engine out the door with the sloped apparatus bay. Once outside we would quietly close the door, start the engine and drive around back. We would go back into the station and hit the house bells and wake the new guy up. He would tear out to the engine for his first run at night and dang if he didn't miss the engine....
We ALL had a good laugh as he became part of the family.

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.

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

 

[jyoutz]

All my Cat 2 implements use those finger-eating Lynch pins. jyoutz - you must have some pretty fancy Lynch pins.

I described it wrong. They are just 1” pins secured by those hair pin clips.
This type of pin without the loop at the end is what my implements came with:

Spanners have fixed jaw openings, aka open end wrench...

That's the whole point. A little hazing is required IMHO to build cohesion, no one should get hurt other than feelings from time to time but it brings the team/unit closer together.

Boy, can't get much farther off topic than that!
