I need help finding a side link pin

[davrow]

This for the 3 pt on a Kioti. The pin is 5/8" x 2-1/2".
This is the one that wasn't pulled out and lost mowing brush.

The biggest issue is the square head. I cannot find square head clevis pins anywhere.
I can find round head pins, anywhere from $1.34 to $17.79. I think I'll try the $1.34 one ...
But does anyone know where I can find square head pins?

I do not have a local Kioti dealer. I'll try the local Kubota dealer next week.

Thanks

Should be Kioti part number 34354-7158-3. Lots of dealers would be happy to mail you one or two. For that location, I would consider using cotter pins (keys)instead of the hitch pin clips. Less chance of losing them and how often do you change the pin location anyways?

I wonder if it really needs to be square head??... The square head may only keep it from rotating which I don't think is a real issue except in some engineers mind.... All the head is for is a permanent stop to keep from having to use two linch/hair/cotter pins....

Simple solution would be go to local tractor supply get pin of correct diameter , and if it's to long cut it down and redrill hole for "pin" ... Probably go with suggestion to use a cotter pin to secure it.... IF it really, really needs to be square use a grinder on round head to make it fit in square hole....

Been experiment on how to keep pins in place on my GC 1715 and two JD mowers and the cotter pin seems to work best on areas where pin is not removed regularly....

Thanks, all!

Instead of a cotter pin check harbor freight for a box of clips

I'd at the least knock that hitch pin in all the way.

My pins are now a double nutted bolt. I don't ever have to be concerned about them falling out.

Bolt with self locking nut might be another good option
