Where can one purchase just the "pins" that go in the holes to adjust the spring tension? I just need the pins.

Your best chance is to find something close to the pins. U need to take the bracket off and take it to lowes or homedepot and find either a pin or nail with similar sizes as the pin u need.

i have never had to purchase just the pins, but i would try a local door company that prehangs doors. they might have a spare parts bin and most likely would give them to you if they have any. good luck.

I do not know where to buy them. These pins can be made from a nail with the same diameter. Use a hack saw or strong wire cutters. Test the pin in the hole first. It must be a diameter that allows for a slip fit into the hole. Or find a Stainless steel dowel pin.

They come with nice clips which hold them in place. I don't think any kind of pins would hold them.

The turnbuckles and springs come as a set. I'm still doing some searching on whether or not you can get the springs separately.

Yes, with shipping the manufacturer is asking about $16 for replacement pins: http://www.generaltools.com/PIND4E--Replacement-Pins_p_1362.html

I got mine yesterday (5/14/14), and the pin issue has been fixed. It has a bolt now like the picture in the description. I will try to upload a picture if I can figure out how, but at least the pair I got does not have a pin. I haven't used them yet, but they look and feel sturdy to me and the grips feel much nicer than my old wooden handle ones.

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

It came with some cheap pin clips but no replacement pins. I reused the OE hardware as it was fine and better quality pin clips.

I'm not sure of the Part # but just about any shear pin will do the job, they are fairly standardized no need to be model specific.

I don't know what tension bars are. The hitch works well just as it arrived. I didn't need to buy anything in addition to it.

Two pins. Can't answer the Poulan question because I own Husqvvarna. Advice: make sure you have the right length when you receive the bolts.

The hinge pin does have a nut that can be adjusted, but so far I have never had the need to make any adjustments. The factory-set tension has been just fine.

Because of the characteristics of the springs, diameter, k, length, I would be hesitant to use anything but OEM replacements to assure it continues to operate correctly. If you feel lucky you can grab all of the data, wire diameter, length at rest, stretched length and force required to stretch, hook end dimensions, etc. and go to an industrial supply store. You may find you will have to cut to length, apply heat to bend the ends and properly quench. I've made springs for other devices in this manner and would return to the OEM if possible just to save the PITA factor.

Check the manual and see where u can call for parts. Or any sporting shop might carry the pin. Shucks get a 6 inch bolt, that might do the trick.

The local bike store should have them, but if you just got it, I would contact the manufacturer

There are barbed fitting adapters that you could push into the end and clamp on. These would need to be bought separate but I've seen them in hardware stores.

To increase the tension, we recommend lowering the adjustment pin. Please feel free to contact us at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) for additional assistance, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Oh no! You're going to need them! If you haven't already contacted the seller, I would try googling them maybe? I, personally, would need them because I am NOT mechanically inclined. Good luck!
