Thanks for this, I am going to get to this soon!

if you cut the bar in the middle, one end will just pull right out, but the other end you still have to drill i believe... because the end is pressed down like a pop rivet... if that makes sense... but just give it a try and let us know!

Yeah just drill it out vs cutting it. It'll only take you 30 minutes or less if you have all the pins, and 21/64 drill bit.

You can find those pins at any farm store.

xxturbowesxx · 10-29-2009, 04:50 PM

Harbor freight had the pins 12.99 and they came with 4 5/16 and 8 other pins or you can buy them for 2.99 a piece in the trailer section. If you are having problems finding them they are called pto pins everywhere and they are used in the couplings for trailers.
