I made one like this, works like a champ and I've used it a number of times with no problems.

Doco, one word of caution on your fixture. That lug you welded on make sure it bears mostly near the round part of the receiver. If the lug were to bear further away from the round part of the receiver, I could see it breaking the receiver especially if you get one as tight as Galvinator's.. I think he had to use a 4 foot cheater on his. Tightening force should be considerably less and the lug bears on the stronger portion of the receiver.
If after welding check with spot bluing, if it in needs correction a few swipes with a file should work.
