Ford 1510
I have a Ford 1510, with a three point hitch, and a core plug aerator similar to a DLA60. For coupling with the lower arms of the hitch, there are three tabs, which accept a pin through them. Holes in the tabs are a bit over 1", 1", and on the outside most tab 1 1/8"

Can anyone tell me what style and size of pin I might use to link to the lift arms?

I have seen similar mounts on newer and heavier implements, but do not know what that style is called. Thanks.

That sounds like a category 2 size. It should be 1 1/8” pins on the lift arms (side/bottom arms) and a 1” pin on the top link. Are the tabs with the holes that you are talking about on the implement or the tractor?

If your unit is similar to the one that comes up on a search, then it is set up for 2 different categories of 3 point.
Such as one or two, the outer ears being cat 2 and the inner ears being cat 1, usually they use a long stepped pin that is a cat 1, 2. Also the top link bracket is set similar the upper mount being cat 2 and the lower cat 1.
Such as this one

The top link has two holes. The smaller one on the bottom takes a 7/8" pin which is what my top links have.

So this might be it! It looks similar to what I can kind of see in the product pictures for similar implements.

Do you have a pert # or source? I can probably use something similar, but these will keep the holes from pounding out as much.
