A coupling pin for agricultural implement hitches and other mechanical couplings includes an elongated generally cylindrical body portion and a ring-like retainer portion integrally formed with the body portion. The coupling pin is formed from spring steel plate or the like by a shearing or blanking operation and successive bending operations to form the pin body from opposed overlapping or abutting blade portions. The ring-like retainer portion which is concomitantly formed with the pin body has opposed sides drawn to shorten the retainer to provide engagement of a recessed portion formed on the retainer with the distal end of the pin body.
