You need a 1/4" x 1.5" coiled spring pin. (715-3006 from Cub Cadet) If you have multiple tractors, it makes sense to buy a bag of them from McMaster-Carr. They are much cheaper in bulk.

All you need to install it is a brass drift rod and a hammer. Oil the pin before installation and it will go in much easier.
with much thanks ... especially the tip about oiling the pin. I called a tractor dealer on the phone who said he has the 1/4 x 1.5 "coiled" spring pin in stock ... hopefully I will have it before the weekend ...

also, thanks again to everybody else who has been helping me
