[QUOTE="Lost But Happy, post: 490226, member: 31806"] Well, striking out with the tubing-locally and nationally. Everything commonly available in galvanized is 3" x 3" .125 thickness which puts the ID at 2.875-not guna work. As far as I have figured, I need a 3.25 x 3.25 x .188 wall thickness tube. This tube would be 3.062 ID. The current tongue is 3.055 OD, 1' back from end of tongue (from 0-5" back the PO crushed the tongue to 2.75"). With this 3.25 tube, I would have juuuuust enough clearance to pound a 4' piece back a foot and be able to drill and bolt. I may be resigned to buying the swing away mechanism and call it a day. $125 for it is a good chunk of cash and that's on top of the $125 for the tube picked up locally. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
