Default Medium tow bar feet ?

If one drills out a set of med. tow bar feet with the 3/4 inch hole to 1", is there as much material left as on a set originally made with the 1" hole? I'm thinking there is but just want to make sure. In other words, are the feet the same except for the hole? May have found some 3/4's not to pricey.

Why not just get a $1.79 bushing at your local farm store?

I understand that possibility also M1075, but that brings up the question of whether the 3/4" pin is sufficient for the job if a 1" was intended for it. Probably so, but just looking at options.
Moot point now anyway, as gimpyrobb pointed me towards a set with 1" holes that I scooped up.

Since the 3/4" pins are used for length adjustment on the towbar, I'd have no issue using them

There was a pair of towbar feet in the South Caroline duece I got from GL.
I think they are for a CCUV.
Since I don't have a tow bar if anyone needs them PM me with an offer.
