Lynch pin

[RedRocker]

Imagine my surprise when I noticed I'd lost a lynch pin
on my 130 bucket pin and discovered a "normal" size
pin is too big for the hole. Fortunately I was done for
the day, but you guys might check your spares and make
sure they fit your loader pins.

I haven't had that exact experience but I did notice that my spare lynch pins have different diameter pins. There must not be much of a standard.

I wired mine on so that brush could not pull them out.

After losing a couple of them I replaced my bucket lynch pins with stainless bolts and locknuts. Haven't lost one since.

Me too - never lost one since .

The loaders are outsourced to Taesung who opted for metric size 10 lynch pins.

I wired some other stuff, shoulda done those too.

Thanks for the timely post, this was about a week late for me.

Not only did i loose the Lynch, the bucket pivot pin was gone! Fortunatly i have a great dealer that stole the pin off a new machine for me. Btw those pins ain't cheap, so ss nuts & bolts make sense.

I've lost a few of them in the brush but have managed to find replacements that would fit from the spare bin. You can even steal them from other parts of the tractor in a pinch. I think the supplied top link lynch pins came with the small diameter lynch pins.

I replaced all mine with large cotters pins. I went through about 4 of them before I got tired of it. They come off easy enough (no tools or messed up threads to worry about) but won't be pulled out in the brush.
