I need a 5/8" locking hitch pin with a greater span than the traditional 3-5/8" to use as one of the two pins for the adjustable ball on the hitch below. It's quite evident without a locking pin the ball assy. or even worse trailer can be stolen by simply knocking out the 2 ball pins. I've been unsuccessful locating a locking pin with greater than the span noted above. Anyone know of a source?

My other option would be to have a machine shop turn down the dead end of mine but I'm probably looking at least $30 to do so.

So you need a 3 5/8" working length? I can find one in any of my catalogs.

Greater than 3-5/8 as that's the largest I'm able to find. 3-3/4+ will get it done.

 

If it exists I sure can't find it! ;(

Small drawbar hitch pin from the ag section and a padlock? Double HH Hitch Pin (Diameter: 5/8" x 5-1/2" long) at Blain's Farm & Fleet

 

If you have a Tractor Supply store nearby, they have bins of clevis and locking pins though have no idea of the diameters or lengths though for sure some are 5/8" dia.

 

I found that the hitch pin on my trailer's hitch pin will fit. It locks

 

I wound up getting the opposite of the lock end turned down at a machine shop on the style below.
