Does anybody know where to get the bolts and nuts to change out the trigger on the DP’s tractor supply or Home Depot don’t have them

You'll pay an arm and a leg if you go to fastenal I'd recommend somewhere else but if you must go to fastenal be prepared to sell you kidney

I have been trying to find a trapping supply company that might have them but so far all I find are kits I just need the bolts and nuts

I just cut a nail the right length and weld a nut on the end.

Is that a pull pan modded into a push/pull?

Coondog, just go to your local mom & pop Ace or TruValue. They have those endless little trays and bins of stuff.

ADC, that trap is no longer a DP. It is just a trap. Kind of defeats the purpose of DP.

TNcat, push-pull are no longer dog proof. A dog sticks his paw in and gets tagged when he hits the trigger.

Not true. The size of the hole is what makes them "dog proof" has nothing to do with the trigger. There are no truly dog proof tube type dp traps, only dog resistant. I've been using various DP designs for over 20 years, and I have use a lot of different ones.

ADC, my female Lab found her way into one. My Dad's Jack Russell also got tagged. I got rid of all of my push-pulls. Besides, until coon prices go up, my DP's will hang in the shed. Only 2 buyers in MN are even taking them. They aren't worth getting your fingernails greasy.

If you think the pull only are dog proof, you are dead wrong. Dog resistant at best. The biggest dogs can get caught in a pull only DP, not the way you imagine but they can get caught in them. I've seen a bear and a coyote, and loads of foxes caught in them as well.

I guess that is up to you, if you decide to admit you are wrong and take advice given, or stick your head in the sand and not see the things that are right there in front of you.
