Bob - that pin is off of an early JD 50. Our family has owned that tractor for about 40 years, and it has only ran a square baler over maybe 40 acres total in the years that we owned it. I don't know the history of it before it came into our hands, but I've always thought that it had seen a lot of baler time in it's first 25 years. The hitch pin hole is severely worn too. I knew this pin was sloppy, but didn't think it was that bad. As far as drawbar work while we owned it, it was mostly used for raking hay and dragging pasture - sometimes pulled a Sparta harrow in disked ground - light work. It's my mowing tractor.
About a year ago, I dropped the front end of another tractor in a sinkhole and we hooked the little 50 up to help it out. It danced the front end quite a bit before we got it out of the hole. It has like new tires and 100 lb of weights on each wheel - I'm surprised the pin held together with that little test.
I'm gonna set that old pin on a shelf in the shop for a conversation piece. That tractor has produced several interesting worn parts.
