Any problems with using 2" x 1/2" bar stock to build attachments?

Or, would it benefit to shim it to get to the 5/8" that Don indicates?

I used a 2" X 3/4" flat bar and shaved off 1/8" with the port-a-band where it enters the slot hitch.

I'll have to see what I have stashed away in my scrap collection.

It just dawned onto me that this setup will be perfect for my lawn aerator, detacher, and drop spreader.  None of them handle turns very well and are a PIA when crossing a couple sidewalks I have to deal with.

I probably have one but it would be in a box with hundreds of pre digital photos. I've been meaning to go through them and digitize them but I've been meaning to do that for years. 

Cellphone = basic photo digitizer!

I actually got all the boxes out this morning. That's a start!

Here a steel Slot Hitch that Geoff Cornwall built off Stormin Norman's plans. There a set of drawings on one of there post 

A picture of the Slot Hitch on a post built by Geoff "Rocker Shaft". Might have been built for a metric bar as the slot was only 1 15/16" wide.

I mean this in all sincerity: You now have graduated and are officially sickness-infested as a member here. In other words, the litmus test is that you used the search feature!

 To be fair, I've designed, built, and managed a few CMS forums in the past. Mostly poker related. But this one tops them all as far as member participation!!!

Luckily there's no chat rooms, or none of us would get our tractors finished

I didn't give the chat room a five star rating, I just provided directions to it. Your gas mileage may vary depending on how many beans you have consumed.
