Post subject: | locking hitch pins |
of all the locking hitch pins i've run across, they seem to be made for the 11/4" rec. hitch with an "added" adapter sleeve to bring it up to the std. 2" use. i don't seem to see where it states the towing capacity for either use? i've used my master lock for years on my 1 1/4" but really have doubts about "adapting" up to the 2" mount for a heavier towing use. comments?? |

Did fine, but it was when it was pretty new. Its coming on its 3rd season now. I guess I should probably try to get it off and and maybe lube it up a bit. Oh, and I have NEVER been able to get the damn adapter sleeve to work for me anyway. |

I remove mine weekly during the summer and about monthly during the winter (I don't leave the hitch in when not towing the boat.) and it has always worked great. |

Some interesting info just published today about Masterlock. Maybe they could use some more business to help pay off this. Master Lock loses patent infringement case Quote: April, 14 2009, 10:25 AM A federal jury said Master Lock Co. infringed on patents for receiver lock technology used in towing applications and ordered the company to pay $5.35 million to inventor Philip Wyers, owner of Wyers Products Group Inc. ![]() |

After realizing I am a bonehead, I got the adapter sleeve in there as it should be. |
