Linch Pin – Square C-Type | Part No: L-LPSC-0107 to L-LPSC-0109 | Spring steel
Product Overview
The Linch Pin – Square C-Type is a precision-manufactured tractor linkage component produced from Spring steel with Zinc electroplated surface treatment. Covering OA 14-19 mm across 3 size options, this product is designed for high-cycle retention duty on PTO guards, drawbars, implement attachment pins, and wheel retention applications. Dimensional tolerances are held to ISO interchangeability standards throughout.
Linch pins are among the highest-turnover consumables in a tractor linkage service programme. Pins that fail through corrosion or fatigue can cause implement separation during field operations, creating both a safety risk and unplanned downtime. The Linch Pin – Square C-Type addresses this by combining a verified spring steel specification with a corrosion-resistant surface treatment that maintains retention force through the full service interval.
Material Specification and Technical Detail
The base material is Spring steel with heat treatment: Spring tempered. This develops the spring temper required for consistent retention force across the operating temperature range encountered in European, Australian, and North American field conditions. The surface finish of Zinc electroplated provides electrochemical corrosion protection suitable for outdoor agricultural storage and seasonal field exposure.
Wire diameter and coil geometry are controlled during production to ensure smooth hand engagement and disengagement even when worn gloves are in use. Parts are sorted dimensionally after production; any items outside the specified wire diameter or overall length tolerance are rejected at inspection. The result is consistent fit across the stated compatible models without modification.

Application and Operating Environment
The primary application for the Linch Pin – Square C-Type is retention of pins in tractor three-point linkage systems, drawbar connections, and PTO shaft yoke guards. The pin passes through a cross-hole in the parent pin and the coil spring section bears against the outside face to resist withdrawal under vibration. Compatible with John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Kubota, Case IH, Fendt, Claas, this product supports the mixed-brand fleets found on commercial farming operations and agricultural contracting businesses.
In road transport applications, regulations in several European jurisdictions require a secondary retention device on coupling pins in addition to the primary hitch lock. Linch pins fulfil this requirement and must meet a minimum wire diameter and retention force specification. The sizes in this series cover the most commonly used commercial trailer coupling pin diameters.
OEM Compatibility and Cross-Reference
The Linch Pin – Square C-Type is dimensionally compatible with original equipment from John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Kubota, Case IH, Fendt, Claas. Compatibility is established through direct measurement of OEM-sourced samples and reference to ISO 730 dimensional standards for three-point linkage components. The size series covers pin cross-hole diameters used across Category I, II, and III linkage pins, supporting the full tractor horsepower range from compact utility tractors through to high-horsepower row-crop machines.
For distributors managing multi-brand inventory, stocking this series as a single product line reduces the number of separate part numbers required for common service events. A dealer supporting John Deere, Massey Ferguson, and New Holland equipment in the same territory can satisfy most linch pin requirements from this series without holding separate OEM-coded stock for each brand. For complete linkage overhauls, our 3-point hitch kit consolidates the most frequently replaced linkage components into a single order.
Installation Procedure
Installing a linch pin correctly takes under one minute but directly affects implement security during operation. The following procedure applies to all standard cross-hole pin retention applications in this series.
Prepare the Mounting Point
Clean the bore with a wire brush and inspect for wear. If oversize by more than 0.5 mm, repair or replace the parent component before fitting a new pin.
Apply Corrosion Protection
Apply a light coat of agricultural grease or anti-seize to the pin shank. This prevents galling on first installation and simplifies future removal.
Insert and Retain
Insert the pin and secure with the appropriate retention device. Ensure the clip is fully engaged in the cross-hole before applying any load.
Post-Installation Check
After the first day of operation, inspect for signs of movement or retention device displacement. Re-torque any fasteners in the assembly.
