Dimensions of fast-hitch point for 140

I am trying to make a couple low-tech implements for the 1-point on my 140. I have had only one around to copy and did so quite accurately, but the fit seems sloppy and it's causing some usability issues for my simple design.
Does anyone have a factory original point on an implement that you could measure? Or do you simply know the factory dimensions in your head?
Thanks for any help.

Mark, Your best bet is to trace it off an existing prong, either a different 1 point implement ,or copy the prong off a 2 point fast hitch implement with the large points. (fit the Farmall 240, 300 and larger tractors). The prong is 3 inches tall measured right before the stop on the bottom of prong. Make sure you have the upright post on your 1 point prong too, that will keep it from tipping side to side so much.
 
concerning the fast hitch prong, it is not the same width from the front of the point to where the last part sits in the receiver . It is narrower in the front and a little wider in the rear. You could add a little stock for shim. Also like the last response, you need to have an upright that sits in the top receiver. I made one and had to play with it a little so that it would fit.
good luck.
 
Thanks to all three of you!

I have traced the one I have, but it's not factory. It has been ok on a 5' disk, but I am making two simple tool bar-based wheel track cultivators and row markers, and they wouldn't stay level.

Just today I realized maybe I need to shim the point: the one I have on the disk is not tapered, so I didn't realize they're supposed to be. And thanks to D7fever for finally helping me understand what that durn upright does! Now I can get these things to hang right.

And thanks, also, for the tip about Agri-Supply; their points are not too expensive and might make a good starting point for fabrication.

So, thanks again to everybody.
