Actually after thinking about this today...A nut welded to the end of the latch( with a big enough hole to accommodate the shackle) and a plate (w/hole of the same dia) welded to the fixed sides at the same height as the "locked" position( the bar down, the last pic #3).
Putting the padlock through the two.... the locking bar cant rotate up to release the gate.....
OR....One could use a carabiner with piece of wire or small chain to retain it, instead of a padlock.... Like an old '20's ford pickup tailgate....
