Self-Locking Hitch Pin

Self-Locking Hitch Pin HITCHES Hitches 34-5-35 You'll never lose a wagon again due to a lost hitch pin, says Dick Kluge, Groton Enterprise, Groton, S. Dak., distributor of the Lockease safety hitch pin. The hitch pin comes with a large hinged handle that doubles as a safety latch to keep the pin securely in the drawbar. The bottom of the handle fits into a hole in the pin. To remove the pin, the operator pushes down with his thumb on a patented lock mechanism on top of the pin and then pulls back on the handle. A large collar prevents pin damage. "The large handle provides a lot of leverage for easy removal, and the safety latch keeps the pin from ever popping loose in the field," says Kluge. "The handle is easy to grab, even if you have mitts or gloves on." The Lockease is available in 9 different sizes, with pins from 5/8-in. dia. by 4 -in. long ($17.75 plus S&H) to 1 -in. dia. by 8-in. long ($35.75 plus S&H).
