Pins - - Where to buy?

[Desert Bred]

This might be a dumb question, but where do you guys buy pins that go through the 3 pt arms?

Farm supply

Tractor dealer

Hardware stores in farm country.

Hi DB,

I often get them at Tractor Supply, sometimes E-bay has them cheaper though, especially when there is free shipping, I only rarely shop online at Agri-supply (shipping is too high for me there).

I found them way too expensive at our local tractor dealers.

Hope this helps,
Thomas

We recently got a Tractor Supply in our two horse town. Sure is convenient getting that kinda stuff now.

Looks like your closest Tractor Supply is in Wickenberg AZ, an hour away.

With all the farming around Goodyear and Buckeye, there should be a farm supply or feed mill that has tractor hardware, if not a tractor dealer.

PS Spent about 6 months on a farm near Tolleson in the 1960's, but it is all houses now.

Have a brushhog backhoe on a Mahindra 4500. Haven't had any problems. If you order some pins make sure you order those sleeves different category arms if ya need em. Hate it when I can't find one.

The top link takes all the pull of the backhoe. If you have to use a bad or questionable pin put it someplace else.

thanks for all the advice. yup tolleson is pretty - alot of the land south of southern is still the same -undeveloped. its pretty but not as pretty as upstate where phyassist is.. where exactly are you i'm originally from rochester love that place and NO scorpions

there's a john deere dealer there in tolleson just above the 10 freeway they may have it ..
yup, got the top link with a strong pin too.. still amazed at the lifting power of the 3pt. just phenomenal..

i tried looking for AC2 but couldnt find anything about it but here's a pic of it
