Thanks Joe.
Since they are close, it might be wise to just drive the mh to them and see what they think. They could probably fix or reinforce what I already have.
I have a piece of 1/8" steel plate running vertically with the 2" receiver tube through it. There's a 1/2" plate behind the tube horizontally and a box tube approx 1"x2.5" running at an angle to the old end plate of the semi. Then another vertical 1/8" plate vertical from that.
I think it needs some more metal and some triangulation? Hard to describe, but pulling a 3 car stacker it doesn't seem like enough.
