I had a set of factory ones layen around and for the life of me i do not remember how thick they were . I bought them way back when i bought a fast hitch blade for my old 450D as i thought that it had the small prongs . They sure did look smaller then the prongs that were on the plow . When we went to put the blade on we put the plates in and backed into the blade and being young and dumb my buddy and i could not figure out why the blade would not go all the way in and latch . Now being young and dumb is bad enough but added in the stupid makes it even worse . Well we thought that well the prongs are really rusty and the plates had paint on them this is why it will not just slide in and if we just took and backed into that big old tree it would go in . and ya would think that after the first try we would have figured out that there was something else wrong but no we had to try beating it in on the tree . . Talk about being STUCK . Tryed just putting it down adding down pressure and draging it out, looked like a dog with a itchy rearend dragen it around. Then the two of us got the idea that well get Mikeys 450 D and that heavy old log chain and hook his tractor to the blade and just PULL it out , That did not work . Then we came up with this idea and this one falls under the heading of DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME . WE backed up to each other and tryed 4th gear full throttel side steppen the clutches , That did not work so lets try 5th gear . Did this twice and it came out , now the down side was it just did not drop to the ground but it went UP in the air as far as that twenty five foot chain let it go and for some reason it was going FASTER then Mikey's 450 could go . Good thing he was fast enough to make a left hand turn and the blade went flyen by him and when it hit the end of the chain it jerked the back of that tractor around about three feet . That balde fit fine WITHOUT the plates . BUt anyhow i am thinking that they are 7/16 thick buy 1 1/4 wide
