Forged Linch Pins for Tractors

About Linch Pin

The linch pin (also spelled lynch pin) is a small component with an outsized responsibility. It is the final lock that keeps a hitch pin from backing out, a clevis pin from disconnecting, or a three-point linkage pin from walking loose during operation. Lose a linch pin, and you risk losing the connection it secures — a scenario that can cascade into equipment separation, implement damage, and serious safety incidents. For something so inexpensive, a linch pin demands surprisingly careful manufacturing.

Jrs Farm Parts produces linch pins in our ISO-certified facility in Ludhiana, India, and exports them directly to the US agricultural and trailer parts market. Our linch pins are available in three distinct styles to cover every common retention application on American farms and job sites.

Standard linch pins feature the classic design — a straight pin body with a spring-retained locking ring that snaps over the end after insertion. These are the universal workhorses found on drawbar pins, three-point hitch pins, and countless other agricultural connections. Spring-loaded linch pins incorporate an internal spring mechanism in the locking ring itself, providing positive, rattle-free retention that is especially valued in high-vibration applications like tillage equipment and mowers. Butterfly linch pins feature a distinctive looped-wire retaining design that opens wide for easy one-handed operation — a favorite among operators who make frequent implement changes throughout the day.

Every Jrs Farm Parts linch pin is manufactured from quality steel wire and strip stock, formed to precise dimensions, and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The zinc plating is particularly important for linch pins, which are constantly handled, exposed to weather, and expected to function smoothly even after months in the field. Our ISO quality system ensures consistent spring tension, ring fit, and finish quality across production runs.

For US farm supply stores, equipment dealerships, and parts distributors, Jrs Farm Parts linch pins represent a smart stocking decision. They are high-turnover consumables that every farmer and equipment operator needs on hand. By sourcing directly from the manufacturer, American buyers get ISO-certified quality at pricing that supports healthy margins. It is a small part — but when it is missing, everything stops. Jrs Farm Parts makes sure your customers always have the right linch pin ready.
