This is now the second time I have lost a cotter pin off the back of my tractor. The first time was during some rough bush-hogging. The cotter pin got pulled out and I lost the retention pin that holds one of my sway bars on. Now, I noticed that the cotter pin on the retention pin that holds my sway bar to my lift arm has been pulled, although thankfully, I have not lost the retention pin because it is flat on one side and inserted from the top. All of the pins I have lost are spring-type cotter pins. I am thinking I will replace them all with split-pin type, because it seems like they are nearly impossible to pull out accidentally. If I ever need to take apart my 3ph, the split-type will be a bit harder to pull out, but I don't anticipate taking apart my 3ph very often, and I'm darn tired of losing things off it.
