Thanks Mr. Recovery. I did see a photo of them and made a pair but would like to have the real thing.

I seem to remember looking at them and thinking they looked just like the safety pins on a fire extinguisher.

I think they are just standard lynch pins :idea:
At least that is what has always been on mine.
If so, available at any farm and home store, tractor dealership, etc.

Hi Mark!
Looks like your pins will work but looks different than the originals. I'll look for a photo of one and post it. Ken

Hello Mark,
Got you a photo of the pin #7 in the TM9-2320-34p figure 107 for the rear seat. Looks like a straight pin with a loop so I made a set of these for mine. I guess the only way can come out is if get your 151 upside down. I don't plan on that. Have a good day Ken

Hello rickf! Are you using fire extinguisher pins or the real thing? I think my home made ones look more athenic than fire extinguisher pins. If you look at the loop, it's to big. I scaled the loop to the size of the chain on the photo. I have five fire extinguishers and the wire dia. is thicker than the hole in the seat bracket. If you have the real thing, can you measure the length of the pin and the dia. of the loop? thanks

I am pretty sure I have the original pins. It has been 15 years since I had the back seat in, not enough room for the dogs. I will be going to the unit where the seat is tomorrow and I will try to remember to look at it.
