I have plenty of good traps I can use but I am looking for a project to do. For those of you that have done this which #number PIT pan would fit best NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

The #2 kit, I believe, is the large pan kit for 3 and 4 victor longs. That’s the one I use. It will work on a 3 jump. You will have to trim the bracket some so it fits between the trap spring and the hump on the cross piece. The bracket also fits #4 without trimming, but the pan will be off center towards the dog a bit on a 4 jump. Doable, but if you want it centered, you need to get the 2 5/8” longer dog with the pans, and weld the bracket in the hump on the frame where the old pan was attached. I actually weld a piece of brake line in the hump for a bushing instead. The pan will be perfectly centered then. I’m not a great welder and brake line is thin. I found it difficult at first, but I got better at it. PIT pans turn them into a decent trap. I just did a bunch of them 2 weeks ago. Last edited by bhugo; 03/01/21 04:31 PM.

My welding skills are not top notch but practice will only make them better. NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

There wasn’t a clamp on strap for the pan at that time so I welded 2 nuts under the hump for the pan bolt to pivot on. The addition of the PIT parts were a major improvement over the floppy pinch pan that the traps had originally. Pretty sure it was their #2 pan and 2 5/8” dog. I did a couple on #13’s also, using those same sizes.
