Why a lost hitch pin stops the job
A hitch pin is a two-dollar part that holds an assembly together, and on a machine that is worked across wet floors it is the part most likely to walk off. Losing one on site normally means the machine cannot be used until it is replaced — and there is rarely a hardware shop open at the point you discover it.
That is the argument for carrying spares rather than ordering one when it fails. Order the pair, and a spare pair for the van.
Fitting advice
Check that the retaining clip or spring on the pin still snaps closed positively. A pin that no longer locks will fall out again, and the pin is cheaper than whatever it was retaining.
If you have lost a pin, look at why. A pin that vibrates out on a machine that has never lost one before usually means the bore has worn or something is loose upstream.
