    I assuming y'all is calling that big blue screw pin shackle a clevis? Why do I know it by a different name.?

    We called em shackle's in the marine construction/ commercial diving world. Is it a more of a farm term to call it a clevis..?

    Closest thing to that would be "cleavage"......no comparison I guess!

    I've always called it a clevis.....but they've changed alot of things I was taught. Probably offended someone that don't work for a living.

    That's what sucks about living in the prairies. Ground water is pretty ####. I grew up in BC and I miss that crystal clear well water. Drink it right outta the tap!

    Am I the only one who just skips over any thread where they spell Peterbilt "Peterbuilt" or Cummins "Cummings"?

    The upside is there not too spendy for a new one. I think there around $80 - $100 . It sucks there was nothing wrong with the old one though.

    I can see it..
    I always thought a clevis used a non screw type pin, with either a nut on one side, or cotter pin..

    I see now by the design & shape I'm making something out of nothing. Basically the same thing.. :D:D
