A few months back I lost one of the "safety pins" that hold the adjustable outriggers so they don't move from vibrations. Then last week I bent one pretty bad from a stub on a log I was loading.
These are the safety pins I am talking about...

I went to the Woodmizer parts page and spent quite a bit of time looking to find the part number and came up empty. They are not even shown in the user manual for the FAO installation/ operation. So I poked around on the internet first, to find out what they are called. Spring Loaded Safety Pin, or just "Safety Pin". Most places they are quite expensive for just 1 or 2. I found the exact size on Amazon for under $2 each in a 10 pack.
