MIDWEST FASTENER 74986 Clevis Pin
The MIDWEST FASTENER 74986 is a universal clevis pin made from 18-8 stainless steel. It consists of a head, shank and cross-hole designed to accept a cotter pin. This fastener allows rotation of connected parts about the pin axis. It suits general hardware and automotive fastening tasks where pivoting movement is required.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous load the 18-8 stainless steel resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity without deformation. The shank and cross-hole geometry distributes shear forces evenly across the pin body. A cotter pin inserted through the hole prevents axial displacement during prolonged vibration or cyclic stress. The pin remains functional without requiring lubrication or periodic retightening.
Practical limits of the pin interface
The cross-hole diameter fixes the maximum cotter pin size that can be used for retention. Rotation freedom is limited by the clearance between the shank and the mating component bores. The head diameter sets the minimum hole size in the outer component. Builders who need a larger shank diameter or a different head profile cannot use this pin.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 18-8 stainless steel clevis pin generate when under continuous load all day?
The 18-8 stainless steel clevis pin produces no heat during operation as it is a passive mechanical fastener with no moving parts or electrical components.
What additional hardware must I already own to secure the 74986 clevis pin after installation?
You need a cotter pin that fits through the cross-drilled hole in the shank to lock the clevis pin in place once assembled.
Will the 1/2 inch diameter shank on this clevis pin align with the holes in my existing clevis brackets?
The pin shank measures 1/2 inch in diameter, so it will fit existing brackets drilled for that same nominal size.
