My tractor didn't have any either. Got mine from a friend who machined them up. There's a few posts about them on here. Bertie Dunlop might make you a set - he seems to have access to a machine shop.

Some folk on here have had probs with compatibility between pivot pin, spacers and bush.

So might be good to get them all from the same place, so hopefully all will fit. As above, I suggest Bertie Dunlop as he seems to know his stuff and does more than shift boxes.

Thanks for that I get most of my bits off them as there very helpful and my pin and bush are from Dunlop and are a very good fit. Will be phoning tomorrow morning and hopefully they can help. John

I have tried all the suppliers I can think of and nobody has them. I will go to a local engineering workshop and have them made. Will let you know how I get on. John
