What carryall dimensions?

[trook]

Does anyone know the size and thickness of the angle iron king cutter uses for their carryall? For those of you that use the king cutter carryall frame as a base, would you do anything different (thickness of angle, etc) if you were to build one from scratch?

The carryall is about an hour away but I am pretty sure it is 2 1/2 inch angle, 1/8" thick. If I was building the frame from scratch I would use cat1 dimensions for the three point hook up -- the top link hole is the wrong size on mine and the bottom pins are not even close to spec in terms of distance apart. I would weld a receiver hitch to the back of it (probably use an HF bumper hitch welded onto a crossbar) and I would run two pieces of angle front and back on the platform piece so I could run the "floorboards" front to back and have them supported at each end. I might make the angle a little thicker if I had some lying about but I have done some terrible things to mine and it is still fine. JMHO

Is the flat stock for the top link holes 1/8" also?

 

[studor]

I think it is 1/4'' flat stock

Does yours have a 3/4 toplink hole and are the bottom links capable of fitting in a 27 1/2" quick hitch? If so mine must be an older model that they have fixed the problems on. -- and thickened up

I,ll go look BRB . OK Yes its 3 inch angle . The holes are 3/4 inch . The width at the lower hookup is 24 inches from center to center of the lower bar brackets . I hope that helps . Bob

Thanks Cowboy
Seems like they have changed it quite a bit but it would still not fit a quick hitch very well--- Trook you might want to check cat1 specs if you are making one to line up with a quick hitch.

My KK carry all works with Pat's quick hitch just fine.
