Abstract

A hitch pin assembly for a tractor-scraper vehicle and the like in which the assembly serves as an articulation element in a location encumbered with many other pieces of equipment causing difficult access. The assembly comprises a pivot pin threaded on both ends and formed for fitting completely axially through a pair of machine elements mounted on the tractor and scraper respectively, a pair of adjusting nuts internally threaded to fit the threaded ends of the pivot pin, and a pair of locking elements in the form of retainer plates adapted to fit over the pair of adjusting nuts and restrain them against rotation with respect to the machine elements.
