The Buyers Products 8 Ton Combination Pintle Hitch with 50 Millimeter Ball # 337BH850MM can be used with the Pro Series Adjustable Pintle Hook Mounting Plate 63072 but to mount the hitch you'll need to source your own 1/2"-13 threaded bolts to mount the pintle hitch. This mounting plate is different than most because it uses those bolts as opposed to the screws, nuts and washers that come with Mounting Kit # 3378520.
For your 2" trailer hitch, instead of the Pro Series plate, I recommend... view full answer...
Yes, the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14002 can be mounted in either the rise or drop position.
If you also need a pintle hitch the Curt # C48200 is rated for up to 16,000 pounds when using the pintle hitch. This also included a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. view full answer...
The Replacement Pintle Sleeve for Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combos Item # PS goes around the ball shaft on certain Convert-A-Ball pintle hook combo mounts such as # PH1. I have included a couple of pictures illustrating this for you. view full answer...
The Pintle Hook Combo # C48200 can be used for trailers that have a pintle hook setup that use a lunette ring, or for trailers that have a coupler and attach to a hitch ball.
You cannot use the pintle to lock or secure the trailer to the hitch ball. To use the hitch ball, your trailer would need to have a 2-5/16 inch coupler to secure to the hitch ball.
If you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver, you will need to use Pintle Hook Mounting Plate, part # RP45294. If you have a 2 inch receiver,... view full answer...
Yes the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005 can absolutely be used in the rise position to raise the height of your pintle hook.
This mounting plate fits 2" hitches, has a 15" shank and mounting holes that measure 3-3/8" apart on center horizontally and 1-3/4" apart on center vertically, which is the same pattern as the bolt holes on Pintle Hook # C48215.
You will also need Pin and Clip # PC3 to secure it to your hitch. view full answer...
If using a pintle hook combo such as # C48200 and coupling to the ball then the latch part would not be able to come down far enough to insert the pin to hold it in place which is fine because the coupler locks onto the ball. Looking through the other pintle/ball combos, see link, they all work in this same or a similar manner. The pin does hold that latch up when not in use. view full answer...
A pintle hook is not designed to prevent standard trailer coupler from coming off of the hitch ball. There is also a good possibility that the top portion of the pintle hook would not be able to close far enough to insert the pin through the pintle hook. The top of the coupler will sit further above the hitch ball than what the pintle hook was designed for.
If your trailer coupler pops off of your hitch ball, then there is likely a problem with the coupler. I recommend having the trailer... view full answer...
Yes, you can use the Pintle Hook Mount, # 63059, in either a rise or drop position. If you need a bolt on pintle hook, use # C48205. It has a 10,000 pound capacity so it has more than enough capacity for your trailer. view full answer...
The Brophy Pintle Hook for 2-1/2" Hitches part # BR27FR is designed for a 2-1/2" trailer hitch and maintains a 36,000 lb weight capacity when used correctly. That said, the actual weight capacity of the trailer hitch/vehicle can and usually is lower. In a towing setup, you're always limited by the weakest rated component so in this case your limiting factor would be the trailer hitch/vehicle therefore that is the figure you will need to abide by.
This is the case for nearly ever hitch... view full answer...
The plate on the Tow Ready Pintle Hook Mount # 63058 has a gusset behind it that keeps it in place and will not allow it to flex (see attached picture). Unless you are exceeding the 8,000 lbs towing or 800 lb tongue weight capacities then you have no worries about the trailer flexing that plate and making contact with your bumper!
If you don't already have a pintle hook then I recommend going with the Pintle Hook Combo # TR63011 which also provides you with a 2" hitch ball. Both the pintle... view full answer...
You should not have any trouble using the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitches # C45910-15-20. If you take a look at the linked demonstration video you can see that the pintle hook will not snap, and to open the pintle you will only need to pull the safety pin and pull on the T-handle. It is perfectly safe for any sized hands and simple to use. view full answer...
The Replacement Pintle Lock # 325-GH-032 that you referenced is designed to be used with a Gen-Y adjustable ball mount like # 325-GH-504, which features multiple 2 inch receivers. The Pintle Lock slides in through the back of one of the 2" openings to create a pintle hitch for use with a lunette ring and a 2-5/16" ball.
I'm not quite sure what you are referring to with regards to what ball shaft it will accept. The Pintle Lock is not designed to accept a hitch ball shaft. I have attached... view full answer...
Thanks for your business!
I reached out to my contact at Tow-Ready and the 2-5/16" Pintle Hitch Ball # 63052 you purchased does indeed use a 1-5/8" nut, so you are correct that you will need a 1-5/8" socket.
I included a video of the # 63052 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
There actually won't be any bolts needed at all for the hitch plate and pintle hook you mentioned. The reason is that you will weld on the Buyers Products Fabricators Hitch Plate # 3371809027A, and the mounting bolts actually come with the Pintle Hook # C48215. view full answer...
The Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - Channel Mount - 20,000 lbs # C45922 would technically be able to lock in place over a coupler if the coupler were reduced in size along with the hitch ball itself. The huge issue is that when you change the coupler and the hitch ball you will drastically change the capacity of both the hitch and the coupler. This in no way is a safe practice as both capacity rated parts would be altered. In addition the hitch ball and coupler wouldn't rotate... view full answer...
The Buyers Products 2" Pintle Hook Mount part # 337PM90 can be inverted to provide a greater rise or installed in the normal position to provide a greater drop. If you don't already have a pintle hook and hardware you can use the Buyers Products 15 Ton Pintle Hook part # 337PH15 with the Buyers Products Pintle/Combination Hitch Mounting Kit part # 3378520. view full answer...
The Pintle Hook Mount, 12-1/2 Inches Tall, 8K, # 63058, can be used in either the drop or rise position, which ever would work best to keep your M105 trailer the most level. You would need to use the maximum number of mounting holes on the Mount that your Pintle Hook will allow. view full answer...
Yes, the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14004 can be used in the rise position if needed. If used in the rise position, the # 63058 pintle hook mount would measure 11-1/2 inches from the bottom of the shank to the top of the plate.
If you need a pintle hook you could use the part # C48205. This has a 10k capacity. Check out the review video. view full answer...
I believe I know what you are asking and you should unhook your trailer instead of removing the entire unit from your hitch still hooked up to the trailer as it would be extremely difficult to get it back in your hitch.
The Buyers Products 2" Pintle Hook Mount # 337PM90 would work great with the Buyers Products 15 Ton Pintle Hook # 337PH15, which you would need to install using Buyers Products Pintle/Combination Hitch Mounting Kit # 3378520. Just make sure you use it properly, unhooking... view full answer...
Part of the play you're experiencing is from the pintle connection on the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2" Ball - 2" Hitches # BWTS10055 and part of it is the tolerances built in for the shank to the receiver - both are common with ball mount and pintle hook connections in general.
While we can't really do anything about the pintle connection (short of changing your trailer to a hitch ball coupler), we can help with the shank part of your ball mount and for that I recommend checking... view full answer...
