Iron Tractor Linch Pin for Joint Locking

Product Details

  Product: Tractor Linch Pin       Overview: A tractor linch pin is a fastening device used in agricultural equipment (tractors, trailers, implements) to securely lock parts such as hitch pins, linkage components, wheels or axles from unintended axial movement or disconnection. It features a pin body and a spring-ring or loop locking mechanism that snaps into place. It is stronger and more reliable than a basic cotter pin.  Key Specifications & Features: Material: Often made of low-carbon steel or medium/high carbon alloy steel; some use spring steel for the ring.  Finish / Surface Treatment: Typically zinc-plated (silver or golden/yellow chromate) for corrosion resistance. Some have powder coating.  Locking Mechanism: A spring steel ring or loop which snaps over the pin head or body, preventing the pin from sliding out. This gives quick release and secure lock.  Usage/Application: Designed for securing tractor linkage parts, implements, trailers, wheels, axles, three-point hitch connections etc.  Dimensions & Sizes: Available in various diameters and lengths to match different tractor linkage/hitch pin sizes. Example codes: e.g., diameter "8 mm", "10 mm", etc.  Durability & Strength: These pins are stronger than typical hitch pins; for instance a 7/16″ linch pin may exceed 11,000 pounds shear strength in some cases.  customization: Many manufacturers offer custom sizes, finishes, or chain-attached versions (linch pin with chain) depending on customer requirement.  Typical Product Details (based on Indian listings): Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Ranges from a few thousand pieces (e.g., 5,000 or 10,000 pieces) for export/wholesale. Delivery Time & Packaging: Often 30-50 days lead time for bulk export orders. Packaging may be wooden boxes for sea-worthy shipping or plain poly bags for domestic supply. Country of Origin: India – many listings say "Made in India". Finish Colour: Often "white" (silver zinc plated) or "golden" (yellow chromate zinc plated). What to Check / Buyer Tips: Ensure the diameter and length of the pin matches your tractor's hitch or linkage specifications. Check the finish and whether it's appropriate for outdoor/field conditions (zinc finish or powder coated for rust protection). Confirm the locking ring / loop design is robust and won't easily deform under load or in vibration. Ask for part code or specification sheet (many manufacturers provide codes, drawings). For high-duty usage (implements under load) check the shear strength rating. Consider chain-attached versions (if the pin needs to stay connected) or versions with special heads (square, pear shape, etc) depending on hitch design. For export / large quantity orders, check packaging, lead time and logistics.
