BTW............ I know there's fabricators here I guess.
A little tip on tongues.
You can get better jackknife performance by designing your tongue with a better angle. The weld-on couplers are 60* IIRC..........they don't work well IMHO. I can get a better angle by making a channel that utilizes an adjustable Bulldog coupler. This has saved my butt in tight situations.
Far as hitches go. I'm totally the opposite in the way I think about hitches, as opposed to some of the DIY bumpers I see out there on the road. I blow a gasket when I see someone with a front bumper that weighs more than the truck.
You can't go wrong with a heavy built hitch. The pin-on design is so I can swap out to an eye style attachment for hauling a fertilizer spreader. Anyways.......use your steel where it's necessary. Overbuilding/underbuilding is a deadly sin. LOL
I had an online dispute concerning the safety of a swiveling tie down ratchet I made for my Great Dane float. ROFLMAO
I practice what I preach. The weight is in the usable USABLE part of the bumper. Not stylish, but what I need for a truck that sees the service it sees. Relatively light tubing (3/16 wall), but attention paid to mounting detail on the D rings (same as the hitch in prior pic...mounting D rings to a pad instead of directly to the tubing).
I don't believe I won/lost the dispute. Typical internet pizzing match. :D

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
