eBay Skid Steer Plates

[g_man]

I bought a 5/16" plate from Titan about five years ago as a mount for my snow plow. Same low price and quick shipping. But it was 1/2" to tight. They offered a 20% discount if I would keep it. It was an easy fix. Cut off the top lip and rewelded it. It seems if you buy one there is a good chance it won't be right. The big problem is some people don't recognize the misfit as a problem and have an implement fall off on one side and bend up there loader or worse.

You guys got me wondering about my Vevor plate. Measures 16.09 from the inside of the v to the bottom bend. 16 to the bend center. Guess this is right.

Mount it on your loader. It is OK if there are no gaps between the loader mounting pads and the back of the plate, the bottom angle and the loader angle where the pins go through both pieces, and the face of the pins. Where the 3 black arrows are -

I really think your over complicating this.
It's a walk in the park with a plasma torch, mig welder, and half a brain.

I don't know if he has a plasma torch or a MIG welder, but I do believe that he has half a brain.

Looked at it a little this afternoon and it won't sit flat against the mounting pads. The bottom plate with the holes is hitting the loader arms and will require notching before I can evaluate where and how much to shim it. It's at least a 1/4" away where your top arrow is drawn. I marked where I need to notch it with a paint pen.

I can jack it up against the bottom bevel and pins but it sits further away from the pads at that point. When I let it down and push it back it won't sit flat and hits the loader arms underneath. I will take some pics before I pull it back off to grind on it.
