james 0 #1 Posted March 9, 2009 Hey everyone... I'm looking for dimensions so i can weld up a slot to clevis hitch. they seem to be going for a good buck on ebay and i don't want to put out like 80.00 for one (by the time i pay shipping etc, could be more!) so i'm hoping someone on here can tell me what the dimensions are so i can make one. thickness of metal, where the bolt holes go, the measurements of the t-bar etc. i'd love for someone to help me out! thanks in advance guys!

Teddy da Bear 11 #2 Posted March 9, 2009 $80 plus shipping??? OMG.....they sure are optimistic! I got about 7 of them I think? I only bought one and the rest came with tractors.... I payed $10 at the swap meet. Have you tried a swap meet? If I am picturing it correctly....the slot hitch has quite a few contours and blends on it as well as the critical machined surfaces.

landsurveyor 2 #3 Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, I live in the UK and the hitches are like rocking (wheel) horse poo over here, so dimensions would be very useful to me too! Sorry I cant help you with the dim's though. Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 825 #4 Posted March 9, 2009 James , I have one in front of me right now. The part that goes in the slot is 5/8 X 2 X 9 1/2'' long. The T is 1/4 X 2 1/4 X 5 1/2 with the bolt holes on 3" centers. The pin hole tube is 3 3/8" and needs to allow for a loose fit for a 5/8 pin. There is a angle piece welded to the tube and main part with a small drilled hole. If you need a picture just pm me. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james 0 #6 Posted March 11, 2009 you guys ROCK! I'm in canaduh and we don't have swap meets that i've ever seen or heard of for wheel horses here. i've only ever seen 2 others and they were for sale a while back....but i missed out. other than that, i've never seen an old one like mine or found any parts or anything. i'm not bad wiht a welder though...i can make parts like this no problem. thanks everyone, it's VERY much appreciated!
