but you have the option of your lock..your key
but the idea is mine

Dont look at it as Negative....
It's a great Idea.. No doubts about that.
Just one of the weak points that I spotted that I would want to improve.
Nothing is ever made strong enough in my eyes. Everyone says that I have to (Matt Proof Everything "AKA Beef it up") for it to hold up to my abuse and/or meet my expectations.
If an item is built with 2 braces... I'll add 8 more to mine!

if you use a hitchlock pin and that grade of stainless.. (308 hotter it gets (saw) the harder it gets)

ohh no..
your design is strong enough, it's the utilizing a pad lock is the weak point.
The weakest part on your design is right where the padlock hooks. Not much you can do about it there, it's always going to have the least material and be unbroke there. If I wanted in and didnt have bolt cutters for the pad lock with me. Before I tried to torch your piece, I'd hit it there with a cold chisel.
Deffinatly run with it... I'm just pointing out what to look at for future improvements.
Edited to add:
R&D (Research and development) are the keys to success. With out them you become stale in the water by tomarrow.

Zap,
if I remember correctly, you played a guessing game as to what your patent was going to be of...and I was the first person to guess that it would be something to do with your snowplow...so what do I win??

Edited to add: This looks like it will fit Myers as well depending on the space between the locking bars.
Good luck with your venture. You should find different brands to make prototypes for preproduction so you have them all covered.
