Disc Harrow lock pin

Sounds like you have some really nice plans there.

I'll keep you informed as things happen.

Just an update Bill.

I placed a steel order this morning and they have the rod we need in stock. They deliver here on Thursday and unless they mess up the order it will be here this Thursday.

I should be able to have your pin made up by this weekend and have pics in here for you to take a look at.

Just another update Bill.

Steel rod is here so my plan is to make one up tomorrow or Saturday, peeps and phone permitting lol.

Sorry so late Bill.

I have one made up but it took longer than expected. I used cold rolled (shaft material) for the pin so it would be the strongest possible. The bender can bend it easy enough but it had a lot of trouble holding it to finish the bend, it kept wanting to slide around the piece that holds it in place after rotating it to finish the bend. Anyway, I've been wanting to make the bigger original style pins like this for the rear hitch so I may just go on and get a heavier bender soon to do those with and this piece more easily.

I left it a little long because the original pin just barely stuck through the end of the piece on the disc and personally I thought it was a little short. It looks like it's up a little in the pic but that's normal, the pin fits tightly so it only goes in until it hits the bend. Not bad for the first one and it's easy to cut it off a little like the original if that's what you want.

What are your thoughts?

I need to get pics of that one and get it in the store, then you can use the regular store checkout there to make things easy, get tracking, etc. I should be able to get that done Monday, but Mondays are really wild sometimes after taking a day off so I can't promise but I'll do my best. They will be $19.99. With the grade of rod it's made of it should last for a lifetime of use. I've already been told I have more than that in it in labor but what else is new lol.

If you have any more parts you need made let me know and I'll see if it's something we can start making. There are a lot more new things coming soon now that the new iron worker is here and running. Your pin was the first thing sheared on it before being made, I like it because it has more of a factory look because the original was sheared and rolled the same way.
