old style backhoe mounts 742 743

[h-m]

Hello all, i want to mount my back hoe on my 742B. i see the mounts that bobcat made for them, but i don't want to pay for them. i don't have any dimensioning of them, though. does anyone have a bracket for the old style machines and hoes that they could measure them and post back? The old kind the ones with the ball mount. i have some 1/2" plate laying around and want to get some fab'ed up, just wondering if anyone had some they could measure, otherwise will 1/2" plate work do you think or should it be heavier? if so i will go get some 3/4" plate, but if i don't need to i won't. thank you all as always

Do you have any heavy angle iron around? 2 1/2 or 3 inch 3/8 or 1/2 thick will do nicely. Look in the media section here for photos of different ways to do it.
