Tractor Drawbar Guide: Torque Specs and Hitch Pin Diameter

Tractor drawbar guide: torque specs and hitch pin diameter. Cat 3 pins measure 38 mm. Cat 4 pins measure 50 mm. Cat 5 pins measure 70 mm.

An undersized pin shears under load. An oversized pin will not seat and wears the link bore oval. Do not grind, weld, or shim a pin to make it fit. Use an adapter kit instead. For a Category 4 hitch link on a Category 3 drawbar, the drawbar opening height must reach 90 mm. Torque in a crisscross pattern. Snug every fastener first. Then 50%, 75%, and full spec. Recheck after the first heavy pull.

Genie Serial Number Lookup: What Year Is My GS Scissor Lift?

Look on the front left chassis rail near the wheel. Check below the scissor stack. Check the side chassis panel near the battery compartment. You should find both a printed label and a stamped number in the steel. Do not stop after finding only one. Labels get painted over, scratched, or lost. The stamped number is more permanent. If the tag is hard to read, clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Use a flashlight from an angle. Avoid heavy scraping or grinding. Once you have the full number, use it before ordering parts. Controls, chargers, harnesses, limit switches, hydraulic valve coils, and drive motors can change by serial range. Match the manual by serial range. Confirm the part against that range.
