MIDWEST FASTENER Cotterless Hitch Pins

These zinc-plated steel pins come in a pack of eight for automotive, agriculture and lawn-care hitch connections. The cotterless design removes the need for a separate cotter pin during installation. They provide a secure link between a trailer and the towing vehicle.

Buyers who need a quick-release hitch pin

The set suits users who want a simple pin without handling a separate cotter key. It is not for buyers who need a locking pin for theft deterrence or a larger diameter for heavier tow ratings. Anyone requiring a different length or a threaded shank should look at other options.

3/16 inch diameter by 1 inch usable length

This single dimension decides whether the pin fits the hitch receiver and the load being secured. Verify the receiver hole size and the required grip length before ordering. The eight-piece pack covers multiple vehicles or spares.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-pack of 3/16" x 1" pins or a different quantity for my trailer hitch?

The 8-pack gives you eight identical zinc-plated steel cotterless hitch pins sized 3/16" x 1", so one pack covers multiple trailers or provides spares for the same hitch.

What does the 3/16" x 1" size mean when I put the pin through my hitch receiver?

The pin shaft is 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch long, fitting standard receiver holes that accept that diameter and providing enough length to pass through both walls of the receiver.

How does the cotterless design work with the zinc-plated steel finish on these pins?

Each pin uses a built-in spring-loaded ball detent that locks into the receiver hole, removing the need for a separate cotter pin, while the zinc plating protects the steel from corrosion during outdoor use.
