I just bought an International 424 today. Didn't come with the top link pin, no big deal it's got a cat 1 hitch and I've got plenty of pins!
Nope. This is not your normal cat 1 pin. The tractor-side of the top link has got a 3/4" hole on the one side and an 1" hole on the other! My cat 1 pin don't stay in since one side of the bracket is too large. My cat 2 pin goes into the large side just fine but won't go through the smaller side since it's 3/4".
I've been looking and I can't figure out the pin I need. Seems to be some sort of step pin, likely with a 3/4" side and a 1" side. I looked around and there are indeed pins that'll work for both cat 1 and 2 top link buckles but I am unsure which of the various kinds to get nor how any of these actually will do the job.
I've ordered all the books I'll need for this tractor but they'll be a week or more and this machine is in working order so I'd like to get her into use sooner than the speed of mail. For the moment I'm using the pin off my truck's hitch, it's no where near big enough but for moving a few hay bales around it'll do until I can get something more suitable.
Anyone know what I'm looking for here?
