Quick Hitches best place to get adapter bushings for quick hitch

jim_wilson · Sep 2, 2004

I just got my hands on a Speeco quick hitch for my BX23 but it only came with 1 set of bushings and would like to get a couple more sets of bushings for my other attachements. Anybody know the best place to get these from - I looked very quickly on Northerntool and the TSC websites but could not find them listed. There is a TSC within a couple of hours of me so I could take a trip there if they typically carry them in stock.

jim-wilson,

SpeeCo out of Denver, CO does have bushings listed on their website. I can't remember exact address of their website. But they have a toll free # 800-525-8322 and their email is Speeco@Speeco.com.
Hope this is useful. Regards, Mark

My local NAPA store has them, 79 cents each

Tractor Supply usually has them unless there's been a run on them.

What size (id od) bushing are you looking for? And just the bushing or the complete bushing unit that is Cat I to Cat III and has a roll pin to hold it on?

Looking for the same type of bushings that came with the Speeco - I assume they are a CAT1 to CAT3 - they are held on with roll pins. There is a pretty good picture of them on the Speeco site

My local JD dealer has them for $.79 a piece.

I picked up two sets this afternoon for $12.99 apiece. My Deere dealer wants more for a set, but it does include the top link pin as well. They are Cat I to Cat III. (just like the Speeco site you posted)

Does Mainiak1 have a pic of the Deere ones for 0.79 ?

I can take a picture if you want. the ones I got are not held in with roll pins. They are held in with clevis pins. They are just bushings and will swivel. They must be shorter than what your looking for. The clevis pin just keeps them from sliding off. The ones I have are working fine. I don't know why you would want to have them extended the whole length of the pin and held in place. The contact on my quick hitch does not extend beyond the bushings.

No need for pics, as your explanation helps. Thanks.

I like the larger bushing but yours would be more flexible if wanting to return to a non-quick hitch use of an attachment.
