Cub Fast Hitch dimensioned drawing

[drspiff]

For those of you with a bent towards fabrication, (little shop humor...), here is a dimensioned drawing on the Fast Hitch spike or point. David Bennett kindly supplied the dimensions taken from his Leinbach blade.



Since the material is 1" thick, I think I'm probably going to buy some points from Leinbach rather than make my own. If I could find a source of 1" x 3" bar stock, making my own would be a more attractive proposition. But torch cutting 1" plate is a pain and schlepping around 1" plate is even more of a pain.

Anyway, for those interested, here it is.

Rick,

Great drawing. This needs to go on Rudi's server.

The IH produced Fast Hitch points also taper in the vertical view, at the pointy end. You can kinda see what I'm talking about in this photo.

I understand about the point narrowing both horizontally and vertically. This particular point is the Leinbach which does not have that taper. I'm also putting together a drawing of the Fast Hitch pocket. That will serve as maximum dimensions for the point.

The points don't have to be tapered on the sides, my Coleman point has a shim on either side to help eliminate sidewaws slop. More important is to taper the point on the underside, about 4 or 5 inches back. Need to find my drawings and pattern to post on forum.
