Looks like you can cut an inch or two off the square tube on each side and reweld the cap, pin and gusset back on. Sucks to have to do that to a new implement though.

That's of course an option but much more work than what I suggested.

from tube to center of pin is 1 5/8in
I didn't explain it well enough but that's why I also suggested welding some 1/4" by 1" flat on edge to the outside, above and below the nut. You would go the entire length of the plate that is welded to the square tubing and has the pin mounted in it. In other words, you would basically form that into a channel iron with just enough room to turn the nut. I think that would be just as strong as original if not even a little stronger because it would actually reinforce all the way out to the pin. Again, that is if there is enough room between the pin and the square tubing to allow this.
Hello everyone i just bought a new rear blade ( it seem a little wider than category 1) HF quick hitch on order right will probably be too narrow, Just thinking has anyone ever switched the pins from outside to the inside, would this work? and with this blade
